BEUC welcomes the agreement to update the 1995 EU law on personal data protection. Although imperfect it will strengthen consumers’ fundamental right to the protection of their personal data. Strong monitoring and enforcement by national supervisors to ensure companies abide by the rules will be crucial for the law’s success.
