History has shown us that at times of national emergency, Personal rights and freedoms are often traded for the greater good. Whilst these measures may be appropriate in the eye of the storm, society is often left with the legacy of less than optimal freedoms when life becomes more stable. One of the tools we have at our disposal is the rise of RegTech; specifically, the ability to implement greater monitoring, governance and separation of concerns that can help society balance between what we need to know, and the hard-fought freedoms of global citizens.

• EU Data Governance Act
  Type: Review Date: 2021-02-16 Policy: EU Data Governance Act Sector: Public

We welcome the regulation as a needed common ground for clarifying the role of data intermediaries, building trust in these intermediaries and setting the direction for data governance, including the emergence of digital human rights.In this context we offer the following suggestions:
1. Explicitly include individuals as active participants in the definitions […]
2. Clarify the scope of the data sharing services (Art. 9 (2)) and extend it to include services that empower the data subject beyond compliance.
3. Foster the growth of intermediaries, which offer new technologies and have the greatest likelihood of success in Europe if supported by the Data Governance Act.
4. Open silos and implement soft infrastructure such as standards & open APIs to accelerate uptake and interoperability between data sharing services.
5. Foster eco-systems and demonstrate the value through practical use-cases.
6. Create a level playing field for sustainable data sharing by providing funding to pioneers at the forefront of developing data eco-systems
