In the post-pandemic world, the ability of researchers to reuse, for the purposes of scientific research, data that had been collected by others and for different purposes has rightfully become a policy priority. At the same time, new technologies with tremendous capacity in data aggregation and computation open new horizons and possibilities for scientific research. It is in this context that the European Commission published in May 2022 its proposal for a sector-specific regulation aiming at establishing the legal landscape and governance mechanisms for the secondary use of health data within the European Union. The ambitious project is centred on administrative efficiency and aspires to unleash the potential of new technologies. However, the quest for efficiency usually comes with privacy compromises and power asymmetries and the case of the European Health Data Space Regulation is no different. This paper draws attention to some of these compromises and suggests specific amendments.

在大流行后的世界中，研究人员为了科学研究的目的而重复利用其他人为不同目的收集的数据的能力理所当然地成为政策优先事项。与此同时，具有巨大数据聚合和计算能力的新技术为科学研究开辟了新的视野和可能性。正是在这种背景下，欧盟委员会于 2022 年 5 月发布了针对特定部门的监管提案，旨在建立欧盟内部健康数据二次使用的法律环境和治理机制。这个雄心勃勃的项目以行政效率为中心，致力于释放新技术的潜力。然而，对效率的追求通常会带来隐私妥协和权力不对称，欧洲健康数据空间法规的情况也不例外。本文提请注意其中一些妥协并提出具体修改建议。
