CPCP Conference 2011

An ambitious reform for a strong and effective data protection

We should be fully aware of the importance of the reform of legal framework for data protection, which is very timely to remain effective in a European information society of 2015 and beyond. There is a need for a strong and effective data protection in a society where personal information is used in quantities that can not be measured, very often without individuals being aware of it. We should support the EU legislator in achieving further harmonisation of national data protection legislation. There is a need for a technologically neutral approach, for the inclusion of the principles of privacy by design and accountability, for the introduction of a mandatory security breach notification covering all relevant sectors, and for the inclusion of the areas of police and justice in the general framework.
