Information & Ethics committee  Thank you. Have a good day.

Information & Ethics committee  If you'll give me 20 seconds to open article 83, I think this is one of the lucky provisions where we have no excuse because we have all the opportunities to consider. I'm quoting now the relevant paragraphs: (a) the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement taking into

Information & Ethics committee  Oh. Your Italian is better than my French.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, we will. As I said, I'm very honoured. Tomorrow we'll appear before the Senate of this country. I hope to have the same kind of qualified audience as I noted today. Needless to say, my office and I remain available for any specification in this case to provide accompanying

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, please.

Information & Ethics committee  The two approaches are not opposite. Accountability is the right approach we request, and it doesn't mean that you should simply respect the law. We are asking now more, and let me speak for a second as a member of the judiciary, as I am. Being in front of a court case where we

We are here because of the difficulties in regulating, from a data protection viewpoint, an issue that is much bigger, and to speed up the process, perhaps. The approach of the legislator was to count mo

Information & Ethics committee  There are two approaches in the GDPR.

Information & Ethics committee  We've said in more than one “EDPS Opinion” that this is an area where we are partly disappointed. The GDPR is not in the form of my dreams, but it's the best we can achieve today. If we started today with a new process, I doubt we could get something better. On children, the le

Information & Ethics committee  The approach is that the child be at least 16 years old. Below the age of 16, the processing is lawful only if and to the extent that consent is given or authorized by the responsible parent of the child. The compromise was in the final sentence of paragraph 1 of article 8, whic

Information & Ethics committee  The question is, how are you sure there's control to make a reasonable effort to verify that consent is given or authorized by the holder of parental responsibility? Also, how can you take into consideration available technologies? Here we suffer from the relationship between dat

Information & Ethics committee  I'm not an expert on PIPEDA, but I understand that it applies only to private sector organizations. Initially, the act applies only to organizations that are regulated at the federal level, but also to the disclosure of personal information by certain organizations. Finally, I un

I can say that awareness and data protection in privacy culture is more than essential. You may be the best one in terms of legal
