In the Know: EU Data Protection Regulation

In January Viviane Reding, Vice President of the European Commission for Justice, officially published a proposal for a new Data Protection Regulation in the European Union (EU). This is the first step in a several year-long process to creating a new data protection law.

Regulations differ in the EU from Directives because they can become law without each member country implementing a new law in their country.
