Nordic-Baltic Working Group on EU Regulation - NoBaReg

NoBaReg contributes to the participating countries' national digitalisation efforts by facilitating knowledge sharing, exchange of experiences and discussions on common approaches to implementing EU regulation in the data area.

NoBaReg was established in 2022, and is funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. The original forum in 2022-2024 was coordinated by the Norwegian Digitalisation Agency, and the current, subsequent project in 2025-2026 is coordinated by the Danish Agency for Digital Government. 

NoBaReg supports and coordinates the national implementations of EU regulation in the data area with a central focus on the Data Act, the Data Governance Act, the Open Data Directive, and the Interoperability Regulation. NoBaReg facilitates and supports the countries' exchange of views and ideas on possible collaboration and coordination on implementing relevant regulations. NoBaReg is also providing an area for dialogues on the integration and improvement of existing data-oriented EU regulation.
