The Data Protection Working Party, a committee attached to the European Commission's Directorate for Justice that provides expert opinion on data protection matters has delivered an opinion re the EU data protection reform proposals. The WP endorses most of the reform proposals; things like legal recognition of binding corporate rules, the updated responsibility and accountability requirements, the treatment of data processors vs. data controllers, preventative use of privacy controls. They also recommended further clarification for a few matters; including the right to be forgotten, breach notification process, balancing of rights with processing costs, discretionary power to Data Protection Authorities to impose fines for breaches, etc. See it here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/article-29/documentation/opinion... - Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* =============================
