1. Act: The EU Data Act for once empowers customers/users with unprecedented data access, use, re-use and sharing rights.

You wanted control back; you got it.

2. Actionables: The Recommendation (EU) 2026/2394 of 29 October 2026 on various sets of model contractual terms (MCTs) on data access and use has now been finally published. The MCTs are an essential part of the actionables you need, and are now available in all 24 EU languages: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ%3AL_202602394.

Together with other experts, the managing director of Arthur's Legal, Strategies & Systems (ARTHUR) has been part of the Commission's (Article 41 Data Act) Expert Group and actively and substantially contributed to shaping, structuring, drafting and finalising these sets. Better make good use of those.

3. Action: With the Act and the Actionables, you are now (1) in control and (2) ready for action.

Now it is up to you! You got this.
