Quantify Research Finland has submitted its statement on the proposed amendment to the Secondary Use Act, which addresses the data permit process, international collaboration, and anonymization regulation.
As a leading Nordic real-world evidence (RWE) provider, we’re well-placed to evaluate how Finland’s registry-based research legislation can be improved to ensure global leadership.
Our stance is clear: efficient, secure, and fair processes are vital for high-quality research and Finland’s competitiveness.
Key recommendations:
🟢 Faster processing: Current delays hurt Finland’s appeal. Timelines need clear targets and resourcing.
🟢Regulating fees: High data permit costs reduce international competitiveness. Aligning with Nordic levels is key.
🟢 Data- secure collaboration: International research needs practical, risk-based guidance—not excessive constraints.
🟢 Flexible anonymization: Data controllers’ expertise must be used to ensure effective, secure anonymization.
We’ll keep driving this agenda to ensure Finnish data remains a global asset.
