Improve data protection, fine-tune the regulation
Image: Rode.The two legal scholars see gaps and overly abstract formulations in particular as serious problems that lead to "considerable legal uncertainty". The deficits are on two levels: firstly, the legal text already has deficiencies, and secondly, some of the underlying ideas still date back to the 1970s. In 27 formulations, Roßnagel and Geminn provide food for thought and possible solutions that should be considered in the European Commission's evaluation. "The dynamic progress in information technology poses a major challenge to data protection law. There are already developments that simply overwhelm the current basic regulation. So something needs to be changed." Roßnagel asserts.
The Federation of German Consumer Organizations (VZBZ) has published the report together with its own position paper. The EU Commission is currently evaluating the current General Data Protection Regulation and must submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council by May 25, 2020, along with proposals for changes.
