Från smartmobiler till smarta städer - uppkopplade objekt genererar alltmer data. Europaparlamentet vill frigöra sin potential. Data är nyckeln till innovation inom sektorer som teknik, hälsa, transport och jordbruk. Parlamentsledamöterna är oroliga för att alltför mycket av den förblir outnyttjad eller ligger i händerna på teknikjättar. De vill ha nya regler för att hjälpa mindre företag och offentliga organ att leverera bättre produkter och tjänster. Datalagen kommer att utgöra en ram för morgondagens ekonomi.

Vad innebär EU:s nya datalag för företag, innovatörer och européer?

As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the European Commission presented a legislative proposal to review the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). The aim of the review is to align the EU ETS Directive with the EU target set out in the European Climate Law to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 55 % by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. To this end, the amount of emission allowances would be reduced, fewer allowances would be allocated for free, and the ETS would be extended to maritime transport. This would reduce emissions in the ETS sectors by 61 % by 2030, compared to 2005. A separate new emissions trading system would be established for fuel distribution for road transport and buildings. The Innovation Fund and the Modernisation Fund would be enlarged, and Member States would be obliged to spend all of their ETS revenues on climate action.

Rapporteur Simona BONAFÈ (S&D, IT), explaines that the report includes the possibility for any citizen to remove these batteries on their own and also having batteries that are more accessible to consumers. She also stressed that the EP added an ad hoc category: “Light Means of Transport” (batteries used for electric cars and also for mopeds, scooters) for these forms of batteries that will be increasingly used and available on the market.
