EU DP Regulation in force 25 May 2018: Time to start preparing for compliance



The EU Data Protection Regulation was published in the European Union’s Official Journal yesterday, and will enter into force on 25 May 2018. Together with EU Regulation 2016/679, the European Commission has published the text of the so-called Police Directive and the Passenger Name Record Directive.

By 25 May 2020 and every four years thereafter, the Commission will submit a report on the evaluation and review of Regulation 2016/679 to the European Parliament and to the Council. The reports will be made public.
