Government proposal regarding the implementation of EU’s NIS 2 Directive published

On 23 May 2024, the Finnish Government submitted its proposal regarding the implementation of EU’s NIS 2 Directive ((EU) 2022/2555, the “Directive”) to the Parliament. The proposal includes, inter alia, the adoption of the new Cybersecurity Act and amendments to the Act on Information Management in Public Administration and the Act on Electronic Communications Services. The objective is that the proposed legislation would enter into force on 18 October 2024.

Implementing the Data Act without Clashing with the GDPR?

The Data Act will largely apply as of 12 September 2025, imposing new obligations and rights in relation to personal and non-personal data in the context of, e.g., connected products and related services. As rules governing data expand, it is increasingly important to map what data sets are processed by an organisation and how they are managed in the upcoming regulatory framework. For data sets including personal data (which is often the case!), it is vital to align the implementation of the Data Act with existing GDPR compliance.

New EU legislation on green claims will bring opportunities to sustainable businesses, although ensuring compliance with the new rules will require preparatory efforts from companies. As stricter and more detailed rules will apply to environmental claims and marketing, to prevent so-called greenwashing, companies with a genuinely sustainable product range will benefit from the new framework. Prohibition of greenwashing brings advantages to both consumers and businesses – and naturally to the environment.
