Digital Omnibus proposal · Article 1 – paragraph 1 – point 3 – introductory part

3. in Article 4, paragraph 8 is replaced by the following: Trade secrets will not be disclosed. Data capable of revealing trade secrets shall likewise be exempt from disclosure, except where the data holder and user have agreed on and implemented sufficient confidentiality safeguards.
Justification

Chapter II creates legal uncertainty for B2B relationships as well as huge administrative burdens for companies that want to protect their trade secrets (on a case-by-case basis). Businesses that already have negotiated data-sharing arrangements now face statutory obligations based on legally defined conditions rather than mutual agreement. This amendment introduces a trade secret safeguard to preserve the Data Act's objectives without undermining existing commercial arrangements or business confidentiality.
