Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget har til formål at skabe rammer for det danske tilsyn med forordningen om harmoniserende regler om fair adgang til og anvendelse af data (dataforordningen). Lovforslaget supplerer dataforordningen, som er direkte gældende i Danmark. Forslaget indebærer bl.a. formel udpegning af Digitaliseringsstyrelsen som kompetent myndighed samt tildeling af nødvendige beføjelser, herunder adgang til at anmode om oplysninger og udstede påbud. Der fastsættes hertil mulighed for at sanktionere med bøde for overtrædelser af forordningen og loven. Det foreslås, at loven skal træde i kraft dagen efter bekendtgørelsen i Lovtidende.
