  • The Czech Presidency of the EU Council circulated a new compromise on the first five chapters of the new data law.
  • The data generated includes the one recorded intentionally by the users and the one resulting as a by-product of users’ actions, such as diagnostics data, and without any interactions, including when the product is in standby mode or switched off.
  • The scope of the provisions that empower public bodies to request access to privately-held data has been restricted for the EU institutions to the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and EU agencies.
