18 January 2011 — The European Data Protection Supervisor, Peter Hustinx, has issued an opinion in response to the Commission’s Communication regarding the “Review of the Data Protection Legal Framework” . Hustinx agrees with the Commission that a review of the present legal framework for data protection in the EU is necessary in order to ensure effective protection in a further developing information society. On the other hand, Hustinx believes that a more ambitious approach than the one proposed by the Commission would lead to a more effective system.

It is an extremely important opinion on EU data protection and even though it hasn’t been published anywhere yet we have a great discussion and analysis from Monique Altheim, Esq. (she always seems to get the inside scoop on these things) and it is on her website Ediscoverymap.com which you can access with a click here (see article below for link).
