Nach vielen Jahren intensiver politischer Debatten zum Thema Datenschutz in der Europäischen Union wird die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) im Mai 2018 endlich EU-weit gültiges Recht. Sie soll den Eckpfeiler des Datenschutzes in Europa bilden. Die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung enthält unmittelbar geltende Vorschriften zu den Rechten der betroffenen Personen, den Pflichten derjenigen Organisationen, die die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten fordern, und derjenigen, die die Verarbeitung durchführen (Verantwortliche und Auftragsverarbeiter), zu internationalen Datenübermittlungen und den Befugnissen der Aufsichtsbehörden.
Introductory remarks by Wojciech Wiewiórowski at the committee for European Affairs of the senate of the Republic of France (via videolink).
Video address by Wojciech Wiewiórowski, 'EU Digital Solidarity: a call for a pan-European approach against the pandemic', on the EDPS response to COVID-19 outbreak.
2019 could be described as a year of transition, across Europe and the world. With new legislation on data protection in the EU now in place, the greatest challenge moving into 2020 and beyond is to ensure that this legislation produces the promised results. Awareness of the issues surrounding data protection and privacy, and the importance of protecting these fundamental rights, is at an all-time high and this momentum cannot be allowed to decline.
This Annual Report provides an insight into all EDPS activities in 2019, which was the last year of a five-year EDPS mandate. EDPS activities therefore focused on consolidating the achievements of previous years, assessing the progress made and starting to define priorities for the future.
