The report proposes legislative measures based on the following concepts:
- Establishing a governance framework for data access and use.
- Empowering individuals to exercise their rights over the data they generate.
- Investing in SMEs to ensure better access to data.
- Strengthening Europe’s infrastructures for hosting and processing data and for interoperability.
- Developing common European data spaces in strategic sectors such as industrial, mobility, energy, agriculture, and health.
