Abstract:
The seminar will discuss the importance of an effective regulation regime on data protection law to ensure strong protection of fundamental rights as well as the associated major challenges. Reducing the enforcement deficits was one of the key objectives of the reform of European data protection law. Despite far-reaching modifications, shortcomings remain. The main elements of the reformed regulatory concept will be outlined. Consideration will be given to the network of European data protection authority. Reasons for the remaining enforcement deficits and approaches to address them are to be discussed.
Ms Mona Winau is a researcher at the Kompetenzzentrum für angewandte Sicherheitstechnologie (KASTEL) In Karlsruhe, and a visiting researcher at the universities of Edinburgh and Stirling
