6.3 Annex III: Workshop Report
Workshop Report Workshop “How to facilitate cross border dataflow in the digital single market?” Brussels, Brussels, Albert Borschette Conference Centre, 20 March 2017 Objective The objective of the workshop was to present the provisional results of the study commissioned by the European Commission on cross border dataflows, and facilitate a discussion on these results, providing an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the legal and policy discussion in the field. In particular stakeholder feedback was sought on the formulation of recommendations on how to scope the free flow of data, and how to implement those. This enabled the study team to better appreciate the needs of all stakeholders when finalising the study and providing recommendations for future policy action to the European Commission. The workshop was also part of a series of structured dialogues between the European Commission and the Member States and other stakeholders, as announced in the Communication on "Building a European Data Economy". Target audience The Workshop targeted representatives of public and private sector users (including SMEs), ICT service providers, and governmental authorities.
