Hearing on the Data Governance Act - Wojciech Wiewiórowski
Speech by Wojciech Wiewiórowski before Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) in hearing on the Data Governance Act, Brussels, Belgium
Après plusieurs années de débat politique intense sur la protection des données dans l’Union européenne, le règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) deviendra enfin loi dans l’UE en mai 2018 et est conçu pour être la pierre angulaire de la protection des données en Europe. Il précise les règles directement applicables en ce qui concerne les droits des personnes concernées, les obligations des organisations qui demandent le traitement des données à caractère personnel et de celles qui effectuent le traitement (responsables du traitement des données et sous-traitants), les transferts internationaux des données et les pouvoirs des autorités de contrôle.

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.
