EU data protection regulation

Business compliance will be strictly enforced once this takes effect.
With EU data protection regulation in place, Europe’s digital economy is expected to significantly improve
and data protection will be “future proof”.

Why do we need another law?

The new regulation is a comprehensive reform of the 1995 directive, which is subject

and sometimes conflicting, laws in the region, while safeguarding the fundamental
rights of the citizens.
