The GDPR provides in a nutshell for:

Even more striking is a second study, an expert session of the trade association DDMA.nl. This also does not claim to be representative. Below are the results of the 45 respondents (with thanks to Tim Vermeulen for making the data available. He asked these questions during his presentation to the audience of this DDMA session).
66 percent of the attendees are not yet working on the regulation. Note: these are experts! Some nuance: 9 percent are not working on it at all, 57 percent know what they have to do, but have not started yet.
In 32 percent of companies, responsibility for privacy is not clearly assigned within the organization.
2017 is the year for companies to make their business General Data Protection Regulation compliant .
What strikes me is that in this context there is always talk of a threat or challenge. But it also offers opportunities to create a competitive advantage, if properly designed.
We live in an era of a data-driven economy and in the Netherlands we play a pioneering role in this area. That is why it is in everyone's interest that the regulation is implemented properly. It is not a question of innovation versus privacy, but finding the right balance between innovation and privacy! In the Netherlands we are in a good position to continue our pioneering role. Our biggest competitor is England, but with Brexit they have an additional challenge in this area.
Telling is the quote from the Estonian EU hong kong phone numbers Commissioner, Andrus Ansip, who is responsible for EU Digital Single Market policy:
With the individual country approach to data within the European Union we are limiting the EU. If we were to lift the current restrictions, the Gross National Product would grow by €8 billion per year. But if the current trend of the individual country approach does not come to a halt, the costs for the EU economy will be much higher.
The Dutch Wbp will therefore make way for the European privacy regulation, the 'General Data Protection Regulation' (GDPR). This regulation will ensure the same rules around privacy throughout Europe and will bring many changes for businesses.
Transparency, strengthening and expanding privacy rights
More responsibilities at organizations
The same firmly formalised powers for all European privacy supervisors
This law applies if the data subject (the person) and/or the data controller or processor (the organization) is resident/established in Europe. So also to the storage and processing of personal data of EU citizens if this takes place outside the EU.
