CSC statement on national review of General Data Protection Regulation

CSC statement requested by the Ministry of Justice for the gathering of national views for the European Commission review of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

CSC's view is that GDPR has improved the documentation and transparency of the use of personal data as well as the integration of data protection principles into the whole life-cycle planning of personal data processing as an integral element of all stages of the life-cycle.

On the other hand, CSC thinks that in many parts the ambiguous expressions and unclear responsibilities of different actors bring difficulties for actors affected by the legislation - CSC thinks that identification of common European good practices is important for the application and effectiveness of the legislation.
