The European Data Innovation Board’s character as a consultative body as regards the implementation and the enforcement of the Data Act should be maintained. However, its structure should be simplified and should allow for more strategic discussions. Notwithstanding these changes, the Board should continue to serve as a forum to develop consistent practice of competent authorities in the enforcement of Chapters II, III, V and VII, VIIa and VIIc. To this end, technical exchanges relating to best practices and dialogue between national enforcement bodies, including information sharing shall continue to be possible in various subgroups. These subgroups should also be able to discuss matters relating to the newly added Chapters VIIa and VIIc. The European Data Innovation Board should also be consulted on guidelines the Commission may issue to support the sectorial implementation of the Data Act.
