The state of privacy 2017: mid-mandate report
The state of privacy 2017: mid-mandate report, Speech by Giovanni Buttarelli for the presentation of the 2016 EDPS Annual Report to the LIBE Committee, European Parliament
Cette directive «vie privée et communications électroniques» de 2002 est un instrument juridique important pour la protection de la vie privée à l’ère numérique, et plus spécifiquement pour la confidentialité des communications et les règles concernant l’identification et la surveillance. L’entrée en vigueur du règlement général sur la protection des données exige du législateur de l’UE qu’il actualise ce texte et la Commission européenne a publié une proposition le 10 janvier 2017. Ce nouveau texte devra aborder le paysage technologique en évolution rapide, avec des questions telles que la confidentialité des communications de machine à machine (internet des objets) ou la confidentialité des communications des individus sur les réseaux accessibles au public (tels que les Wifi publics).

The new EU data protection framework consists of much more than just the GDPR. New rules for the EU institutions and ePrivacy are yet to be finalised, and remain a key focal point for EDPS work. As well as providing advice to the legislator on these new rules, the EDPS has started working with the EU institutions and bodies to prepare them for the changes to come. A particular focus of his efforts in 2016 was on promoting accountability, a central pillar of the GDPR which it is safe to assume will also be integrated into the new rules for EU institutions and bodies.
In 2016, the EDPS also made a considerable effort to help move the global debate on data protection and privacy forward and mainstream data protection into international policies. He advised the EU legislator on the Umbrella agreement and the Privacy Shield and engaged with data protection and privacy commissioners from every continent. He also continued to pursue new initiatives, such as the Ethics Advisory Group, through which he intends to stimulate global debate on the ethical dimension of data protection in the digital era.
The EDPS aims to make data protection as simple and effective as possible for all involved. This requires ensuring that EU policy both reflects the realities of data protection in the digital era and encourages compliance through accountability.
