Data Act and Adequacy Decision
Dear Secretariat General of the European Commission,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
I am asking what the Commission - according to its internal documents - thought when drafting Article 29 (2) Data Act and the obvious deviation from what became Article 50 Data Act. The published materials are mood on this point. So I request each and every document under the Freedom of Information Regulation pertaining to the drafting of what became Article 29 (2) Data Act and the same materials concerning Article 50 Data Act.
In the same vein I ask access to each, and any documents made in preparation and execution of the adequacy decision regarding the GDPR and the USA. But limited to two issues: First, documents containing the reasoning why the Commission chose to issue a Decision directed to the Member States and not a Decision towards the general public. Second, copies of the official documents the Commission sent to the Member States.
Yours faithfully,
Alexander Schmalenberger
