On Tuesday, 24 September 2024, the European Commission published new guidance on the Data Governance Act (DGA). The guidance is designed to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the DGA and its associated benefits. While the document is not legally binding and does not represent the formal position of the Commission, it aims to help industry, member states, and other stakeholders understand the different measures contained in the legislation.
Specifically, the guidance outlines the DGA's data sharing measures for the re-use of publicly held data and clarifies that both personal and non-personal data fall within its scope. Furthermore, the guidance stresses that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies where personal data is involved and that the DGA does not modify the GDPR or impact the role of data protection authorities (DPAs).
