'Data Protection' Package: a historic agreement
15-12-2015
On 15 December 2015, the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the European Union reached an informal agreement in trialogues with the European Parliament on the 'Data Protection' Package which will set out new European rules on privacy in the digital age.

The agreement reached by the Luxembourg Presidency will have to be confirmed at the level of the Council of the EU by the 28 Member States, and will be addressed by a Coreper meeting to be held before 21 December 2015.

The 'Data Protection' Package, under negotiation since the European Commission put forward the proposal in January 2012, includes a Regulation establishing the general framework for the protection of personal data and a Directive on the protection of personal data processed for the purpose of law enforcement.

Following the adoption of general approach on the Regulation in the JHA Council of June 2015 and the adoption of a general approach on the Directive in the JHA Council of October 2015, the co-legislators ─ the European Parliament and Council of the European Union acting under the Luxembourg Presidency ─ have been engaged in intense negotiations in order to reach an agreement before the end of 2015.

Félix Braz, Luxembourg's Minister for Justice and President of the Council, declared: 'It is a fundamental agreement with significant consequences. This reform not only strengthens the rights of citizens, but also adapts the rules to the digital age for companies, whilst reducing the administrative burden. They are ambitious and forward-looking texts. We can have full confidence in the result.'

Negotiators of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed on the first EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity.

Negotiators of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed on the first EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity.

Information systems – computing resources such as networks and databases that enable essential services, businesses and the internet to function – are affected by an increasing number of security incidents. These incidents can have different origins, including technical failures, unintentional mistakes, natural disasters or malicious attacks. They could disrupt the supply of essential services we take for granted such as electricity, water, healthcare, or transport services.
It is a priority for the Commission to help prevent these incidents, and in case they occur, provide the most efficient response. This is why the Commission put forward in 2013 a proposal for a Directive to ensure a high common level of network and information security (NIS) in the EU. The European Parliament and the Luxembourg Presidency of the EU Council of Ministers last night reached an agreement on the rules which will:
improve cybersecurity capabilities in Member States
improve Member States' cooperation on cybersecurity
require operators of essential services in the energy, transport, banking and healthcare sectors, and providers of key digital services like search engines and cloud computing, to take appropriate security measures and report incidents to the national authorities

Données de connexion : la directive est déclarée illégale par la Cour de justice

Données de connexion : la directive est déclarée illégale par la Cour de justice | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
C'est un vrai coup de tonnerre. La directive qui constitue le pilier pour tout ce qui touche aux enquêtes judiciaires et à la lutte contre le terrorisme est invalidée : elle comporte une ingérence d'une vaste ampleur et d'une gravité particulière dans les droits fondamentaux au respect de la vie privée. Le système s'écroule.

Neue Datenschutzregeln in der EU stehen | Privacy | EU | Europe

Neue Datenschutzregeln in der EU stehen | Privacy | EU | Europe | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Europas Internet-Nutzer bekommen künftig mehr Kontrolle über ihre persönlichen Daten.


Die künftige europäische Datenschutzgrundverordnung soll erstmals europaweit ein einheitliches Datenschutzniveau schaffen und das Recht auf Privatsphäre stärken. Die Reform löst seit 20 Jahren geltendes Recht ab, das vor allem wegen der rasanten Entwicklung des Internets als nicht mehr zeitgemäß gilt.


Damals waren soziale Netzwerke wie Facebook ebenso wenig ein Massenphänomen wie das groß angelegte Sammeln von Verbraucherdaten durch weltweit agierende Internetkonzerne wie Google. Parallel wird im sogenannten Trilog aus Parlament, EU-Rat und Kommission auch über die Datenschutzrichtlinie verhandelt, die Vorgaben für Polizei und Justizbehörden beim Umgang mit Daten macht.
