The European Commission’s legislative proposals for the data economy focus on establishing a European single market for data with a level playing field by harmonising rules on data sharing, regulating the dominant players and giving people more control over their data. The five new data law proposals published by the European Commission in recent years will reshape the data-driven business environment in Europe. Are European businesses and the public sector ready for the emerging opportunities and to act in order to realise the potential of the data?

The working paper complements the general understanding about the current operational environment by taking an overall view of the five data law proposals and exploring the opportunities that the proposals offer together from the perspectives of the public sector, SMEs and individuals.
