Data Governance Act (DGA)

About the Data Governance Act (DGA)

Full name:Regulation (EU) 2022/868 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2022 on European data governance and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1724 (Data Governance Act)

(Link to original text)

Type: Regulation.

Objective and key elements:

Encouraging the sharing and re-use of data across sectors and EU countries to leverage the potential of data while respecting data privacy, confidentiality, and IPR.
Covers both personal and non-personal data.
Assistance from the public sector body to access data.
Member States required to set up a single information point.
Data intermediaries to function as neutral third parties.

Relevant to: Mainly public sector bodies but also providers of data intermediation services (data marketplaces and pools) and data altruism organisations.

Status: In force, applicable since 24 September 2023. On 19 November 2025, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the simplification of the digital legislative framework (the “Digital Omnibus”). The proposal would, among other things, repeal Regulation (EU) 2022/868 (the Data Governance Act) and transfer its substantive provisions into the Data Act (Regulation (EU) 2023/2854).
