AEB event: ”EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Implementation Experience”.

13.07.2018

On 12 July, 2018 the AEB Compliance and Ethics Committee, HR Committee and IT & Telecom Committee held its open event ”EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Implementation Experience”.  


Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the European Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), governs the processing of personal data by any EU party. It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. The GDPR aims primarily to materially enhance the control by citizens and residents over their personal data and at the same time - to simplify the regulatory environment for international business.

The open event ”EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Implementation Experience” provided a platform for discussion of the most important challenges in the process of implementing the GDPR. The feedbacks from the companies across the range of industries provided useful insights into the complex and often resource-intensive process for the Regulation’s implementation. The meeting illustrated the numerous challenges for companies in the interaction between the GDPR and other laws and regulations (both EU and third countries), especially in domains where the co-existence of different requirements may create a conflict of organisations’ legal obligations.

The meeting was moderated by Julia Borozdna, Chairperson of the AEB Labour Law Sub-Committee, Partner, Head of Employment and Migration Law Practice, Pepeliaev Group.

The next meeting on GDPR for a further discussion of feasible framework for its effective implementation will be held in in the second half of 2018.
