EU Releases Proposal for New Data Protection Laws

The European Commission has this week released its proposal for a new data protection framework, signalling the most significant global legislative development affecting the collection, use and protection of personal information of the past 15 years.  The Commission's proposals are aimed at updating and modernising the existing laws, which are seen as inadequate given the ways in which technology allows personal data to be used, transferred and stored.

The proposed laws will require all businesses collecting personal data in the EU to make changes to the way they collect and process that data.
