Keynote speech by Beatriz de Anchorena, Chair of the Committee of Convention 108 and Head of the Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP), Argentinian Data Protection Authority
This year’s conference, co-organised by the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and the Council of Europe (CoE), will bring together policymakers, regulators, academics and practitioners to examine the lessons from Convention 108+ and EU data protection law and explore how they can inform the next generation of legislation. Building on the resilience of the European data protection framework, the conference will ask: How can we modernise without compromising core principles? How can ‘regulatory simplification’ coexist with strong safeguards for individuals? And how can Europe’s normative model continue to inspire a human-centric digital future?
