One year to the day after its launch, the EU Code of Conduct on Agricultural Data Sharing has received the support, on Tuesday 23 April, of two additional international federations: the Centre de Liaison International des Marchands de Machines Agricoles et des Reperateur’ (CLIMMAR) and AnimalhealthEurope (see EUROPE 12011/17).
“One year after its release, the EU Code of Conduct on Agricultural Data Sharing has been accepted and signed by over ten key European agricultural sector organisations” the EU agricultural organisations and cooperatives (Copa-Cogeca) said welcoming this news.
All signatories are convinced of the importance of setting transparent principles and guidelines to support the development of digital farming, which “demonstrates the need for increased data sharing in agriculture”, says Copa-Cogeca. The Code of Conduct explains contractual relations and provides guidance on the use of agricultural data, in particular on rights of access and use of data.
