European Commission solicits feedback on GDPR's efficiency

摘要

The European Commission plans to assess the effectiveness of its General Data Protection Regulation, which came into force in May 2018, by asking for input to inform a report set to be released next month. The GDPR is designed to ease intra-EU data flows and third-party compliance with the bloc's rules. The framework contains principles required for the European Commission to determine that an adequate level of data protection exists for companies based in third countries; it also harmonizes personal data protection regulations across all 28 EU member states.
