The study is a part of the data.europa.eu, an initiative of the European Commission. The report examines the evolving concept of data ownership within the EU and investigates the impact of the Data Act on the data ownership rights. It argues that the Data Act does not address data ownership issues, instead focusing on defining access and usage rights. According to the report, this approach is more efficient as it tackles unfair market practices directly, rather than trying to impose a data ownership framework.
