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 17
Requests for data to be made available
Precise reading
Requests must be specific, transparent, proportionate, justified (need, purpose, legal basis, deadline), respect trade secrets, and be made public.
A summary of the operative demand, not the statute.
Plain reading
The state's ask must arrive in writing, scoped and published — a well-formed request, or no request.
Paraphrase.
