Prospects for reform of the EU Data Protection Directive
summary
Directive now exists as 27 divergent national laws, creating substantial diversity and complexity that undermines effectiveness; society shifts like globalization and cloud computing change territoriality and increase surveillance so the right risks being hollowed out. Post‑9/11 emergency measures skew proportionality, while an unexpected public consultation by a caretaker commissioner sparks reform momentum. Lisbon Treaty provides legal leverage, the Council of Europe and OECD push updates, and a review of the EU framework is underway.
