Intermediazione di dati personali e servizi di data sharing dal GDPR al Data Governance Act

This essay analyses the phenomenon of data intermediation, on which The European Commission has recently paid attention with the Communication on “European Strategy for Data” and with the Proposal of a specific EU Regulation on “European Data Governance” (Data Governance Act). In this (proposal of) Regulation there are specific provisions of law about file sharing services provided by data intermediaries and new roles are mentioned: “data holders”, “data users” and “providers of data sharing services” (as data intermediaries between them). The European perspective is clear: to create or to sustain new business opportunities for European enterprises and advantages for Public Institutions, as well. This deep innovation arises new problems and needs to be considered in light of the existing data protection law and to be coordinated with the GDPR.
