Cluj-Napoca 06.06.2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the era of accelerated digital transition, with increasingly complex and profound implications for how we live and work, the need to regulate digital technological processes, new types of transactions, and business models becomes evident. The goal is to protect the principles and values of equal opportunity, non-discrimination, and to encourage innovation and balanced competition for all market players at the European Union level.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such initiative is the \"Data Act,\" through which the European Commission is proposing new rules on who can use and access data generated in the EU, across all economic sectors. The Data Act will ensure fairness in the digital environment and stimulate a a competitive data market<\/strong>, would open opportunities for data-driven innovation<\/strong> and would make data more accessible<\/strong> for everyone. It will lead to new, innovative services and more competitive prices for aftermarket services and repairs of connected objects. This latest horizontal block of the Commission's data strategy will play a key role in the digital transformation, in line with the digital objectives for 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives of the IT industry in Romania are contributing to the drafting of the Data Act formulated at the European level, through direct involvement in the public consultation process conducted by the European Commission between March 14 and May 24, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consultation process with the private sector was coordinated by the European Digital SME Alliance, the largest network of small and medium-sized enterprises in information and communication technologies in Europe, representing over 45,000 businesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cluj IT Cluster<\/strong> participated with a team of experts from the Romanian IT industry, members of the cluster: Marin Iuga, CEO of Intertehnica, coordinator of the Data Intelligence working group of Cluj IT Cluster and of the consultation team formed for the Data Act; Valentin Bogdan Cre\u021bu, Project Manager at ProjectX Software and coordinator of the Learning&Development working group of Cluj IT Cluster; R\u0103zvan Florian, CEO of the Romanian Institute of Science and Technology; Radu Orghidan, member of the Board of Directors of Cluj IT Cluster; and Stelian Brad, President of Cluj IT Cluster. They were joined by the expert team from Legal Accelerators, Cluj IT's partners in the field of technology and innovation jurisprudence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Data Act will encourage companies to ethically and traceably collect and trade data in the digital economy on a competitive data market. This will create positive contexts for data-driven innovations. Through the Data Act, companies and citizens will have increased control over the data they trade on the market. This is a critical aspect for the development of the data-driven economy.<\/em>has declared Stelian Brad<\/strong>, President of the Cluj IT Cluster<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effort to analyze the text proposed by the European Commission, in the context of Romania's economic and legislative reality and complemented by the projection of scenarios applied to the industry and to small and medium-sized companies, was materialized by the team of experts into a suite of ideas and observations. These were aimed at strengthening the constructive and efficient components, on one hand, and adjusting some critical directions addressed in the legislative proposal, on the other. Among these, we list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
