DATA PROTECTION

Review of the European Data Protection Directive (12th May 2009)
This review of the strengths and weakness of the EU Data Protection Directive is published by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Among its recommendations, the report proposes that:
  • the law should be clear about the outcomes it seeks;
  • there should be stronger focus on the accountability of all organisations for safeguarding the information they handle;
  • a more strategic approach to enforcement is needed; and
  • improved arrangements are needed for the export of personal data outside the European area.
