EU Data Act · Chapter V · Making Data Available to Public Sector Bodies, the Commission, the ECB and Union Bodies on the Basis of an Exceptional Need
Article 14
Obligation to make data available on the basis of an exceptional need
Precise reading
Data holders (other than small/micro enterprises) must make data available to public sector bodies, the Commission, the ECB or Union bodies that demonstrate an exceptional need to use it.
A summary of the operative demand, not the statute.
Plain reading
The state can ask — but only through the narrow gate of exceptional need, defined next door.
Paraphrase.
