Commission proposal

Chapter II of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 requires data holders to make data available, including data protected as trade secrets, to users and their selected third parties, provided confidentiality measures established by the data holder are maintained. This requirement of maintaining confidentiality complements Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council 30, which sets the standard for protecting trade secrets within the Union. However, disclosure of trade secrets to third-country entities may increase risks to their integrity and confidentiality where there is exposure to jurisdictions with inadequate protections or difficulties in their actual enforcement, potentially resulting in unauthorised use, economic damage and legal uncertainty.

Alternative wording Amendment 138 · Piotr Müller IMCO
(10) Chapter II of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 requires data holders to make data available, including data protected as trade secrets, to users and their selected third parties, provided confidentiality measures established by the data holder are maintained. This requirement of maintaining confidentiality complements Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council10 , which sets the standard for protecting trade secrets within the Union. However, disclosure of trade secrets to third-country entities may increase risks to their integrity and confidentiality where there is exposure to jurisdictions with inadequate protections or difficulties in their actual enforcement, potentially resulting in unauthorised use, economic damage and legal uncertainty. The disclosure of trade secrets to third-country entities may increase risks to their integrity and confidentiality where there is exposure to jurisdictions with inadequate protections or difficulties in their actual enforcement, potentially resulting in unauthorised use, economic damage and legal uncertainty. The unauthorised transfer of European know-how and trade secrets to such jurisdictions constitutes a risk to the competitiveness of European industry. It is therefore necessary and proportionate to provide data holders with an effective and workable possibility to protect their trade secrets against such risks. _________________ 10 Directive (EU) 2016/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) against their unlawful acquisition, use and disclosure (OJ L 157, 15.6.2016, p. 1).
