我国《数据安全法》规定，国家建立数据分类分级保护制度，根据数据在经济社会发展中的重要程度，以及一旦遭到篡改、破坏、泄露或者非法获取、非法利用，对国家安全、公共利益或者个人、组织合法权益造成的危害程度，对数据实行分类分级保护。同时，有关部门应制定重要数据目录，加强对重要数据的保护。

随着相关工作持续推进，近期，数据安全与分类分级治理出现一系列新动向。例如，2024年3月19日，国务院办公厅印发《扎实推进高水平对外开放更大力度吸引和利用外资行动方案》，明确提出健全数据跨境流动规则，科学界定重要数据范围。3月20日，国家标准委批准发布推荐性国家标准GB/T 43697-2024 《数据安全技术 数据分类分级规则》以及作为规范性附录的《重要数据识别指南》，对企业的合规工作提出了进一步指引和要求。与此同时，部分行业、领域和地方在数据安全和分类分级治理方面，也出台了相关规定。

在这一背景下，中国欧盟商会有幸邀请国家工业信息安全发展研究中心科技委成员、产业促进所研究部主任杨晓伟博士和世辉律师事务所合伙人王新锐，就近期数据安全与分类分级治理相关工作和动态进行分享。

Throughout the past few years, the EU has been revamping its regulatory toolbox in order to better address emerging economic, geopolitical, technological and climate challenges. This expanding toolbox includes instruments aiming at combatting economic distortions and creating a level-playing field in the Single Market, ensuring reciprocity with third countries in areas like procurement and combatting coercive actions initiated by those countries, fostering sustainable processes and preventing carbon leakage among industry players. As number of these regulations will impact the China operations of European companies, the European Chamber brings to you the Interpreting the EU’s Toolbox Series, where experts will provide an overview of the instruments that are being rolled out.

Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.
