Germany's Merkel calls for standardised European rules on using data

One law to rule them all: Merkel wants to create a digital single European market.

BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for Europe to set about standardising rules on using data in Europe, ahead of a visit to the CeBIT technology fair in Hanover where digitalisation is expected to be in focus.

"We want to create a digital single European market. That means we need to have legal situations that are as similar as possible in all European countries," Merkel said in her weekly video podcast.
