The European Commission (EC) has proposed a new draft Regulation on the processing of personal data. Significantly, the draft Regulation shifts substantial statutory compliance obligations on to data processors. This note highlights the areas of the draft Regulation that will be of most concern to data processors should it be adopted in its current form. Philip James and Ben Seth, lawyers at Pitmans SK Sport & Entertainment, discuss the important changes that might take place.
