Thanks for joining us on Thursday, March 30th, 2023, for the fourth of our webinars on new and upcoming EU TMT regulations for 2023. In this session, we discussed the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, and the never-ending saga of the ePrivacy Regulation.

Data Governance Act

Stepanka Havlikova spoke about the Data Governance Act and how it could stimulate and facilitate data sharing in Europe. She explained how the DGA supplemented the existing legal framework for re-use of publicly sector data and how businesses in the EU could benefit from the new legislation. In addition, she also addressed the new regulatory framework for data sharing services.

Data Act

Marc Elshof addressed how the Data Act would affect companies in all industries, including obligations on sharing user-generated data from IoT devices, the impact on service contracts connected with the sale of goods, and limitations to the free flow of data.

ePrivacy Regulation

For the final part of the webinar, we were excited to be joined by Giulia Ziveri, privacy counsel at Foot Locker. Together with Laëtitia Flour, Giulia addressed the current state of play of the ePrivacy Regulation and discussed the different scenarios for the future: Would we have an ePrivacy Regulation? If so, by when? What happened in the meantime? What happened if there would be no ePrivacy Regulation?
