The German publication, Zeitschrift fur Datenschutz, has just published a piece authored by Christopher Wolf, director of the global Privacy and Information Management practice, entitled “A Critical Time for the EU Data Protection Regulation.”
The article highlights issues that have been raised about the proposed Regulation, described as “real and substantial.” The point of the piece is to highlight that it will be critical how the reviewers in the European Parliament analyze and report on the proposal.
As important as momentum may be to obtain approval of the Regulation in a timely fashion, equally important is ensuring the passage of a workable and balanced set of new rules.
