Executive Summary
Introduction and context
Published in the Official Journal of 4 May 2016, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on 24 May 2016, and will be applicable across the European Union from 25 May 2018 onward. Indeed, unlike a directive, a regulation does not have to be transposed into national law to become applicable.
The GDPR is the result of a lengthy revision of the European directive 95 / 46 / CE from 1995. The objective behind this new text is to provide a unified data protection framework applying directly to all EU member states as well as to all EU citizens to guarantee a high level of protection for citizens while playing the role of enabler of the digital single market.
