EU Data Act Now in Force: New Handbook 'Data Act' Offers Practical Guide
The EU News Act, a significant piece of legislation aimed at promoting a European digital economy, has officially come into force on the 12th of September, 2025. Coinciding with this, Linde Verlag in Vienna has published a comprehensive handbook titled 'News Act', authored by Attorney-at-Law Stefan Humer, LL.M. of CHG Czernich.
The EU News Act, now in effect, focuses on facilitating access to non-personal data. This includes provisions for data access, data provision, and data licensing agreements. It also addresses AI training data, text and data mining, liability for data, cloud switching, and enforcement of law. The new handbook, 'News Act', provides a practical overview of these regulations and their adjacent AI laws.
Illustrating the practical implications, the handbook includes examples and graphics. For instance, it explains how a tractor manufacturer must now provide agricultural data to farmers upon request. The author, Mag. Stefan Humer, LL.M., a specialist in data law, IP/IT law, and corporate and business law, has focused on new technologies in his legal practice.
The EU News Act, now operational, seeks to unlock the potential of non-personal data for a European digital economy. The 'News Act' handbook, published simultaneously, serves as an invaluable guide for understanding and implementing these new data access regulations. With its practical examples and illustrations, it aims to make the complex legal landscape accessible to all.
