Data Act: political agreement on rules for a fair and innovative data economy
A political agreement has been reached this week between the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, on the European Data Act, proposed by the Commission in February 2022.
The EU Data Act aims to boost the EU's data economy by unlocking industrial data, optimising its accessibility and use, and fostering a competitive and reliable European cloud market.
The provisions of the Data Act can be relevant for certain data-related calls and projects within Digital Europe. Concretely, the Data Act includes
- Measures that enable users of connected devices to access the data generated by these devices and by services related to these devices.
- Measures to provide protection from unfair contractual terms that are unilaterally imposed.
- Mechanisms for public sector bodies to access and use data held by the private sector in cases of public emergencies, or when implementing a legal mandate where the required data is not readily available through other means.
- New rules that grant customers the freedom to switch between various cloud data-processing service providers.
- Measures to promote the development of interoperability standards for data-sharing and data processing.
The political agreement reached by the European Parliament and the Council still needs to be formally approval by the EU institutions. Once adopted, the Data Act will enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal and will become applicable 20 months after the entry into force.
More information can be found in the Commission press release and the fact sheet.

Limecraft - Powerful workflows for video products
If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
