The European Union (EU) has been pursuing a new strategy under the umbrella label of digital sovereignty. Data is an important element in this strategy. To this end, a specific Data Governance Act was enacted in 2022. This new regulation builds upon two ideas: reuse of data held by public sector bodies and voluntary sharing of data under the label of data altruism. This short commentary reviews the main content of the new regulation. Based on the review, a few points are also raised about potential challenges.
