Insurance Europe: Insurers’ position on the EU Data Act

24 May 2023

The EU Data Act is set to shape the future of the EU single market for data. It is therefore crucial that it establishes a framework that supports innovation.

 Insurance Europe has today published a ​ paper  that examines the impact of the different positions taken on the Data Act proposal by the European co-legislators — the European Commission, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament — in the trialogue discussions.

Insurance Europe welcomes the Data Act proposal, as it sets out key principles on how to access and share data collected from connected devices, but robust sector-specific legislation on access to in-vehicle data is still needed to provide the confidence and incentive independent service providers require to invest in new data-driven services.

 

Insurance Europe’s paper sets out the insurance industry’s positions on amendments proposed by the different co-legislators in relation to compensation, data use, trade secrets and data-sharing between businesses and governments.
