Final report
Publication metadata
This study supports the European Commission’s evaluation of the Free Flow of Non-Personal Data Regulation, the Open Data Directive and the Data Governance Act. Drawing on legal analysis and stakeholder consultations, the report assesses the effectiveness and coherence of this legislative framework. The evaluation finds that the Open Data Directive has successfully catalysed public sector data supply and reuse, although the implementation of High-Value Datasets remains uneven and technical fragmentation persists. Conversely, the Free Flow of Non-Personal Data Regulation has demonstrated limited effectiveness in removing data localisation requirements, hampered by the national security exemption and legal uncertainty regarding mixed datasets. The Data Governance Act is in a nascent stage; its impact is currently constrained by delayed national implementation and low uptake of data intermediation and altruism models due to unclear incentives. Cross-cutting analysis highlights challenges in regulatory coherence, particularly concerning personal data protection and the lack of sustainable business models for data sharing. The study recommends strengthening national coordination, harmonising legal definitions and developing clearer operational guidance to realise a unified European single market for data
