Summary

A proposed regulation known as the Data Act on access to and use of data. The amendments revise recitals on data-driven technologies, the Internet of Things and connected products, barriers to data sharing and the limited capacities of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and rework provisions on users' rights to access data generated by connected products and related services, on data generation by manufacturers, and on safeguarding personal data protection.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
