DATA ECONOMY requires a secure and open digital infrastructure

  • We call on the EU institutions to take into account the dynamics of innovation, technological progress and the digital economy when negotiating new legislative proposals. Any future regulation must be digitally friendly.
  • Given the potential negative impact of each regulatory measure, we also recommend making the most of self-regulatory instruments in the market environment and prioritising them over regulatory interventions.
  • Free movement of data is essential for the future development of the European digital economy and we see it as the fifth freedom of the internal market. In order to create a truly digital single market in the EU, it is necessary to apply European regulations anchoring the free flow of data correctly while maintaining high security standards and the protection of personal data.
