Study supporting the impact assessment on the Regulation on data governance and its executive summary

The study determines the impact of a number of possible policy options acting as stepping-stones enabling relevant stakeholders to build common data spaces and fully realise the benefits of increased data reuse. Following this, the study performed a Multi-Criteria Analysis to determine the preferred policy option for each topic, analysing the effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and legal and political feasibility and proportionality of each option. Lastly, the study identified policy packages (i.e. sets of policy options) to analyse impacts from a macroeconomic standpoint vis-à-vis the baseline.
