Huawei supports the EU’s initiative on the creation of health data space and welcomes the opportunity to comment on the combined evaluation roadmap and inception impact assessment. The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted and accelerated the importance of health data for research, and we fully support this Commission priority.

A connected and interoperable European Health Data Space (EHDS) is essential to unlock the potential of health data in Europe. The initiative will first and foremost benefit societies in Europe – including patients and healthcare providers – as it can play a crucial role in developing innovative technologies and treatments. Standard protocols can be replaced by personalised, data-driven insights and interventions.

The BDI would like to thank for the opportunity to provide feedback on the legislative framework for the governance of common European data spaces. In this respect, we refer to our statement (29 May 2020) in the public consultation process on the EU Data Strategy, in particular to our chapters A.I and A.III.

BDI welcomes the European Commission's proposal for a regulation on European data governance to promote the increased reuse of data held by the public sector, support for voluntary data sharing by intermediaries, interoperability and standardization measures. In order to realize a smooth data flow EU-wide and through cross-sector value chains, a harmonized legal environment across Europe is needed.

Huawei supports the Commission in its attempt to stimulate the data market and appreciates this opportunity to comment on the proposal for a Data Governance Act. Huawei is not a data company per-se but our technologies are cost-efficient enablers for data sharing services and industry initiatives. Due to this we have the expertise to comment on the current proposal and feed into the legislative debate.
