To promote public/private cooperation in the sphere of data

There are research projects that could benefit from data compiled by private companies and public administrations. Furthermore, there is also an interest within the private sector for access to public sector data to foster its research, development and innovation projects, while the public sector also has an interest in accessing data generated and compiled by companies so as to be able to plan specific public services more accurately. Accordingly, it is important to establish a legal and technical framework to allow for the sharing of public and private data, assuring suitable requirements are met in terms of privacy and security, while delivering the administrative agility and tools needed to operate within reasonable timeframes.
