Re: [projectvrm] ePrivacy Directive

[Tim Walters < >]

By the way, there is a great documentary, called Democracy, about the birth of the GDPR in the European Parliament, featuring Jan Philipp Albrecht, Viviane Reding, and a bunch of lobbyists. 

Here is the main German-language site, with many details not available elsewhere: http://www.democracy-film.de/

Here is a description and an excellent trailer with English subtitles, from a Dutch film festival site: https://www.idfa.nl/en/film/90a9eba8-3baf-4ff6-b9ff-d98930773c85/democracy

And here is the page from Amazon UK, where you can rent the film as VOD with English subtitles (plus there is another trailer): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Democracy-Jan-Philipp-Albrecht/dp/B07668HKXL/ref=sr_1_1?

I don't find it on Amazon.com. It's available on iTunes in Germany, but I don't even have access to the US store.

Cheers,

Well, technically speaking, applicable yes, but to inter into force, a regulation needs to be implemented in national law (which requires an implementation law). Moreover, the GDPR offers some (but very little) room for national clarifications. (I am not a lawyer, but I know scholars have identified some areas).

 

The difference with a Directive is that it needs to be transposed and offers a lot more room for national differences, e.g. the recitals are not mandatory.

 

So in addition to what has already been said in this thread, I think it will be good to keep an eye on ALL national implementations of the GDPR as well.

Hi, I am to meet another from the key authors of GDPR next week. He is 
also from Germany and is now a senior adviser to the EC DG Justice (sg. 
like the Minister of Justice for the EU). I will try to get him to 
participate on this list and also comment on New York GDPR.

Just to clarify (sorry, lawyer comment:o)): ePrivacy Regulation is not a 
Directive but Regulation. The difference is that while Directives must 
be implemented by each EU member state in their national legislation, 
Regulations are directly applicable as if they are national laws so no 
new national laws will be adopted. GDPR is also a Regulation.

Take care,

Zbynek
