Book excerpt: Ensuring fair and trustworthy data sharing is at the core of the European Commission's policy agenda for the period 2019-2024 under the priority "A Europe fit for the digital age". Published in 2020, the European strategy for data set the ambitious vision to establish common European data spaces in all strategic societal sectors and domains of public interest. Data spaces are envisioned as sovereign, trustworthy and interoperable data sharing environments where data can flow within and across sectors, in full respect of European ambitions, rules and values. To support the establishment of data spaces while meeting the Digital Decade objectives for Europe's digital transformation by 2030, several cross-sectoral legislative instruments have been adopted or proposed following the publication of the European strategy for data. These include: the Data Governance Act, introducing a set of horizontal measures to boost trustworthy data sharing in the EU; the Data Act, aiming to make more business data available for reuse through the definition of rules on who can access and use what data and for which purposes; the Implementing Act on High Value Datasets, implementing the Open Data Directive by specifying a list of datasets that public sector bodies shall make available for free and under open access licenses, as well as making them accessible in machine-readable formats via application programming interfaces (APIs); and the Digital Markets Act, which sets out some measures on data access and portability to regulate the "gatekeeper power" of digital companies prone to unfair business practices.

Download or read book Data europa eu and the European Common Data Spaces written by and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data spaces are central to the European strategy for data. The strategy envisages 'a European data space as a genuine single market for data where personal and non-personal data, including sensitive business data, are secure and businesses have easy access to high-quality industrial data, boosting growth and creating value'. This report explores existing and emerging developments and initiatives around data sharing using data spaces (from the International Data Spaces Association, Gaia-X and Open DEI). Our aim is twofold: to identify holders of open data who are involved in ongoing data space implementation and to reflect on the role that open data portals (with a special focus on data.europa.eu) could play in this implementation.
Download or read book Health Data Pools Under European Data Protection and Competition Law written by Giulia Schneider and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the emerging economic reality of health data pools from the perspective of European Union policy and law. The contractual sharing of health data for research purposes is giving rise to a free movement of research data, which is strongly encouraged at European policy level within the Digital Single Market Strategy. However, it has also a strong impact on data subjects' fundamental right to data protection and smaller businesses and research entities ability to carry out research and compete in innovation markets. Accordingly the work questions under which conditions health data sharing is lawful under European data protection and competition law. For these purposes, the work addresses the following sub-questions: i) which is the emerging innovation paradigm in digital health research?; ii) how are health data pools addressed at European policy level?; iii) do European data protection and competition law promote health data-driven innovation objectives, and how?; iv) which are the limits posed by the two frameworks to the free pooling of health data? The underlying assumption of the work is that both branches of European Union law are key regulatory tools for the creation of a common European health data space as envisaged in the Commissions 2020 European strategy for data. It thus demonstrates that both European data protection law, as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation, and European competition law and policy set research enabling regimes regarding health data, provided specific normative conditions are met. From a further perspective, both regulatory frameworks place external limits to the freedom to share (or not share) research valuable data.

Download or read book European Data Protection In Good Health written by Serge Gutwirth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Europe has a significant legal data protection framework, built up around EU Directive 95/46/EC and the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the question of whether data protection and its legal framework are ‘in good health’ is increasingly being posed. Advanced technologies raise fundamental issues regarding key concepts of data protection. Falling storage prices, increasing chips performance, the fact that technology is becoming increasingly embedded and ubiquitous, the convergence of technologies and other technological developments are broadening the scope and possibilities of applications rapidly. Society however, is also changing, affecting the privacy and data protection landscape. The ‘demand’ for free services, security, convenience, governance, etc, changes the mindsets of all the stakeholders involved. Privacy is being proclaimed dead or at least worthy of dying by the captains of industry; governments and policy makers are having to manoeuvre between competing and incompatible aims; and citizens and customers are considered to be indifferent. In the year in which the plans for the revision of the Data Protection Directive will be revealed, the current volume brings together a number of chapters highlighting issues, describing and discussing practices, and offering conceptual analysis of core concepts within the domain of privacy and data protection. The book’s first part focuses on surveillance, profiling and prediction; the second on regulation, enforcement, and security; and the third on some of the fundamental concepts in the area of privacy and data protection. Reading the various chapters it appears that the ‘patient’ needs to be cured of quite some weak spots, illnesses and malformations. European data protection is at a turning point and the new challenges are not only accentuating the existing flaws and the anticipated difficulties, but also, more positively, the merits and the need for strong and accurate data protection practices and rules in Europe, and elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development of information technology has exacerbated the need for robust personal data protection, the right to which is safeguarded by both European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE) instruments. Safeguarding this important right entails new and significant challenges as technological advances expand the frontiers of areas such as surveillance, communication interception and data storage. This handbook is designed to familiarise legal practitioners not specialised in data protection with this emerging area of the law. It provides an overview of the EU’s and the CoE’s applicable legal frameworks. It also explains key case law, summarising major rulings of both the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, it presents hypothetical scenarios that serve as practical illustrations of the diverse issues encountered in this ever-evolving field.

Download or read book INSPIRE a Public Sector Contribution to the European Green Deal Data Space written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directive 2007/2/EC (INSPIRE) entered into force in 2007 with the goal to establish a European Union (EU) Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to support EU's environmental policies. The Directive was complemented by a complex legal framework detailing requirements on data provision, which was in turn accompanied by technical guidelines and the establishment of a governance structure involving Member States in the maintenance and evolution of the Directive. After more than 10 years since its inception and at the end of its legally defined roadmap leading to the evaluation by 1 January 2022, INSPIRE has entered a new milestone as the European Commission's recent focus on the green and digital transformation holds the potential to make it a key tool for the successful (environmental) data sharing in Europe. The objective of this report is twofold. First, we summarise the main developments of the pan-European INSPIRE SDI happened so far from the technical and organisational perspectives, describing the current implementation state of play through multiple dimensions: data availability, governance approaches, available technological stack, influence and role of standardisation bodies and community development. This precedes a critical assessment of what has, and has not, worked well in the development of the infrastructure. Building on such lessons learnt, in the second part of the report we offer a vision for the future evolution of the INSPIRE SDI with a five to ten year horizon in mind. This ambitious vision takes into consideration the current EU policy context as well as the disruptive technological trends bringing new data sources, actors, standards and architectures as new players in the (geospatial) data sharing field. The vision is structured around a set of legal, organisational and technological actions, which are largely extensible to any policy-driven SDI. This makes the lessons learned from INSPIRE also applicable to the broader field of data initiatives. The key conclusion of this report, embedded in the vision, is that in order to remain fit for purpose it is desirable that traditional SDIs evolve from complex and highly specialised frameworks to more sustainable, flexible and agile data ecosystems, lowering the entry level to non-specialists and welcoming an increased participation from less traditional stakeholders (e.g. open source software communities, standardisation bodies and early adopters) in addition to data providers and users. Concretely, at the European level this highlights the need to simplify and modernise the INSPIRE technological framework and to establish a distributed governance structure at multiple levels. It would be hard to imagine a more effective way for INSPIRE to blend within the common European data space envisioned by the recent European Strategy for Data, allowing a seamless and user-centric data exploitation to address an increasing range of societal needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commission's European Strategy for Data, expressed in a Communication from the Commission, provides a large part of the context for this study. The goal is for the EU to become a leading role model for a society, empowered by data, to make better decisions - in business and the public sector. This must be seen in the light of the EU's strong legal framework in terms of data protection, fundamental rights, safety and cyber-security, thereby reflecting the best of Europe, that is, open, fair, diverse, democratic, and confident. The Communication recognises the need to act in the areas of connectivity, processing and storage of data, governance structures for handling data and to increase pools of quality data in a cross-border environment. The ultimate aim is to create a European data spaces for each industrial sector, supporting creation of European data pools enabling Big Data analytics and machine learning, in a manner which is compliant with relevant legislation. This involves Commission investment in European data spaces and federated cloud structures and specifically common data spaces for public administration, including law enforcement needs. The annex to the Communication does not provide much further detail, allowing end-users in Member States and relevant European Agencies to provide creative responses, in line with the principle of proportionality and data protection rules. In the sphere of law enforcement many Member States are pursuing projects on data spaces, machine learning and deep learning. The focus can vary from very targeted interventions, such as analysis of poor quality audio, video or fingerprint data to more strategic discussion on using advanced technology to streamline everyday bulk processes such as translation or transcription of text or to consolidate a dispersed architecture of law enforcement databases. Through the use of standard research techniques in this study: literature review, questionnaires and targeted interviews, the following key areas were identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital technologies are fundamentally transforming the EU's economy and society, and data is at the centre of these transformations. The volume of data produced in the world is growing rapidly, from 33 zettabytes in 2018 to an expected 175 zettabytes in 2025. Every 18 months, the amount of data is doubling, and data-driven innovation has an enormous potential to bring benefits to citizens - ranging from personalised medicine and new forms of mobility to new insights informing policymaking on a range of issues, particularly climate mitigation and adaptation. At the same time, these data-driven innovations cannot be at the expense of the EU's fundamental rights and values and particularly its world-leading data protection rules. Ensuring that citizens are empowered to decide whether and how the data they generate is used, and that all - big and small, public and private - can benefit from this new wave of innovation will enable the EU to become a leading model globally for a data-empowered society. Therefore, the European Commission published in February 2020 the European strategy for data (COM(2020) 66 final) aiming to create a human-centric single European data space - a single market for data open to data from abroad, in which data - personal, sensitive and other - is secure and accessible, and which is governed by fit-for-purpose EU legislation. This common data space will ensure that data flows within the EU and across sectors, that EU rules and values are fully respected, and that access and reuse of data is made on the bases of fair, practical and clear rules, and clear, trustworthy data governance mechanisms. The European strategy for data announced the key actions to be taken in this domain, among which the adoption of new legislative acts: the Data Governance Act and the Data Act. This study has been divided into two parts, in line with the above Acts that they have been designed to support. For each, a common approach was designed in order to assess the key domains that fall under the concern and potential scope of action of these Acts.
