💡 The International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) published a position paper reflecting on the Data Governance Act (DGA) and data intermediaries, with contributions from Viivi Lähteenoja & Marko Turpeinen from 1001 Lakes. Key messages include: 💭 determining the scope of the DGA on data intermediaries requires the reading of Articles 2(11), 10, and 12 all together, in relation to each other. 💭 the definition of data intermediaries granted in the DGA is broad and gives room for interpretation, due to the inclusion of both a general definition of “data intermediation services” in Article 2 (11) and the further definition of specific categories of such services in Article 10. 💭 It remains unclear, from a data space perspective, how the requirement of intermediation “between an undetermined number of data holders/data subjects and data users” in Article 2 (11) should be understood.
