I am in favor of making things easier for Polish companies, for Polish businessmen and for the Polish cloud – said Deputy Minister of Digital Affairs Michał Gramatyka in an interview for Wednesday's edition of “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”.
Grammar, when asked how the slogan “digital state” translates into the activities of the Ministry of Digital Affairs this year, replies that he would like a state “in which I will have coverage on every road – national, provincial and district, as well as along railway lines”.
“I would like a country that publishes all collected data in such a way that it is suitable for reuse. So that this data can be used to power a broadly understood ecosystem, e.g. to build new applications that approach this data in some new, completely unconventional way,” he says in an interview. “So that people can simply do business on it,” he adds.
He also notes that he dreams of a country “where literally every matter can be dealt with online”. “There are many such dreams and I hope that one day they will become reality,” he says.
Asked whether the Ministry of Digital Affairs can contribute to this, Gramatyka emphasizes that it can, especially in two areas – broadband Internet access and data management.
He points out that the ministry is also preparing to implement the EU Data Act – an act on data. “The first one will probably be the Data Governance Act (regulation on data management), there will probably be fewer problems with it, because it is easy to point out the advantages of this regulation,” he explains.
He notes that “market players may speak up about the Data Act, who will have a different opinion than us”. “But I hope that we will be able to convince everyone how important these laws are and how much they open up confusion about data”, he adds.
He explains that “thanks to the implementation of the Data Act, cars will be able to exchange data not only when they come from a single manufacturer. They will be able to aggregate and transfer information between themselves, including information on road conditions, weather, and traffic jams,” he points out.
Asked whether the implementation will take place this year, Gramatyka emphasizes that it will. “We are already late with the Data Governance Act, so these are our legislative priorities,” he emphasized. (PAP)
