"The Data Governance Act is an extremely sensitive project in terms of fundamental rights: This draft will allow the data economy to access protected data, although compliance with a few requirements is stipulated. According to the Austrian Chamber of Labour, consumers, patients and citizens will not be able to trust data transfer readily. While the promotion of innovative data management is very clearly formulated, the accompanying provisions that protect the rights of data subjects are unjustifiably vague. The new AK EUROPA position paper explains where there is an urgent need for revision of the Data Governance Act."
