This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, , language: English, abstract: The aim of this work is to describe the framework of data protection principles within EU law. It will be described how the right to privacy and data protection have been evolving since their birth and how they became fundamental rights that need to be balanced with other crucial interests of the Union, namely, national or public security, with special regard to Passenger Name Records (PNR). A passenger name record consists in a set of data elements which concern each airline passenger's travel itinerary, such as the number and method of reservation , home address, email address, timestamped IP address, mobile and phone numbers, emergency contacts, travel details, payment methods, Frequent Flyer Numbers, and even other billing information as meals or services required by the passengers. In the first chapter it will be pointed out: at first, how the right to privacy was firstly debated within the domestic law of the United States; secondly, which international organizations laid down principles dedicated to the right to respect for private and family life; eventually, how the European Union created a comprehensive set of data protection laws safeguarding data subjects' rights. In this regard, there will be analysed also the most relevant principles of the former Directive 95/46/EC1 and the process that brought into the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation. Within the first chapter there will be also examined the most remarkable judgements given by the European Court of Justice, which established several benchmarks for the right to data protection, such as "Lindqvist" Case, "Google Spain", and "Schrems" Regulation 2016/679 will be the main object of the first chapter, as far as it represents nowadays a set of rules that put data subjects' rights at the core of the discipline set out for data protection. The final purpose of the first chapter is to explain the most relevant concepts and definitions of data protection. Understanding such principles is necessary to analyse appropriately the second and third chapter. The third chapter will deal with the international agreements regarding "Passenger Name Record" that have been adopted by the EU with third countries. There will be even observed the main characteristics of "Passenger Name Records" pointing out how they were perceived, at first, as commercial records and when they became useful for purposes of preventing terrorist offences and other serious crimes.

Download or read book Ignoring Dissent and Legality written by Evelien Renate Brouwer and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2011, the European Commission published a proposal for a new Directive on the use of passenger name record (PNR) data for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crimes. This proposal replaces an earlier draft of 2007 for a Framework Decision on the use of PNR data for law enforcement purposes. The new proposal does not seem to allay the earlier concerns of important stakeholders with regard to the 2007 proposal. Its content contradicts not only important principles of data protection as described by the Commission in November 2010, but also the principle of proportionality underlying EU law. This paper examines the extended purpose and (lack of) added value of this proposal. It also considers its relation to the Directive on advanced passenger information and PNR agreements between the EU and third countries, the lack of harmonisation and the consequences for the fundamental rights of individuals.

Download or read book Data Protection in EU and US Criminal Cooperation written by Els de Busser and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2009 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research in this doctoral thesis examines the protection of personal data in two relationships: between judicial and law enforcement authorities of the EU Member States (including Europol and Eurojust) on the one hand and the US on the other hand. The book provides answers to the central question as to whether the EU complies with her own standards of data protection in these internal relations, as well as in the transatlantic cooperation in criminal matters. The new framework decision on data protection in criminal matters that entered into force in early 2009 is a significant element in this study, alongside the agreement concluded between the EU and the US on the mutual assistance in criminal matters of which the entry into force is equally planned for 2009. The book also reflects on the policy proposals of the EU on justice and home affairs for the period of 2010-2014.

Download or read book The Politics of Data Transfer written by Yuko Suda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Yuko Suda examines the Safe Harbor debate, the passenger name record (PNR) dispute, and the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Transactions (SWIFT) affair to understand the transfer of personal data from the European Union (EU) to the United States. She argues that the Safe Harbor, PNR, and SWIFT agreements were made to mitigate the potentially negative effects that may arise from the beyond-the-border reach of EU data protection rules or US counterterrorism regulation. A close examination of these high-profile cases would reveal how beyond-the-border reach of one jurisdiction’s regulation might affect another jurisdiction’s policy and what responses the affected jurisdiction possibly makes to manage the effects of such extraterritorial regulation. The Politics of Data Transfer adds another dimension to the study of transatlantic data conflicts by assuming that the cases exemplify not only the politics of data privacy but also the politics of extraterritorial regulation. A welcome and timely collection uncovering the evolution of and prospects for the politics of data privacy in the digitalized and interconnected world.

Download or read book The Influence of the European Commission Data Privacy Directive on Third Countries and the Passenger Name Record Controversy written by Jonathan D. Mason and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In an age when governments and businesses transfer personal data of individuals over the Internet, the U.S. and the European Union have tried to protect such data in different ways. Whereas the U.S. has sought to protect specific types of private data (such as health records and financial data), the European Union passed the 1995 Data Privacy Directive as a way to protect all private data. In the 1995 Data Directive, the European Union sought to protect the private data of European citizens within Europe and without. The Data Directive mandates that non-European Union countries must have adequate levels of data protection if they are to transfer private data in or out of Europe. The EU has allowed a handful of nations to transfer private data because the E.U. deemed their laws adequate in protecting private data. The challenge to the E.U. has been trying to work out the protection of private data with the U.S. An important area of contention over transferring private data has been the U.S. requirement since late 2001 that all airline carriers arriving or departing from the U.S. must provide the U.S. government with Passenger Name Records, a packet of data collected by the airlines that contains private data such contact information and financial information. The U.S. requires this information in order to screen passengers for security threats. In 2004, the U.S. and the EU had reached an agreement to transfer this data, but the European Court of Justice annulled this agreement and said that the EU could not use the 1995 Data Directive as a foundation for such an agreement. The Court of Justice gave the two sides until July 2007 to reach a new agreement. An agreement meeting the needs of both sides would protect the privacy of airline passengers while providing the U.S. with the data needed to combat terrorism and protect national security.

Download or read book Handbook on European data protection law written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development of information technology has exacerbated the need for robust personal data protection, the right to which is safeguarded by both European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE) instruments. Safeguarding this important right entails new and significant challenges as technological advances expand the frontiers of areas such as surveillance, communication interception and data storage. This handbook is designed to familiarise legal practitioners not specialised in data protection with this emerging area of the law. It provides an overview of the EU’s and the CoE’s applicable legal frameworks. It also explains key case law, summarising major rulings of both the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. In addition, it presents hypothetical scenarios that serve as practical illustrations of the diverse issues encountered in this ever-evolving field.

Download or read book The Fundamental Right to Data Protection written by Maria Tzanou and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, data protection has been elevated to the status of a fundamental right in the European Union and is now enshrined in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights alongside the right to privacy. This timely book investigates the normative significance of data protection as a fundamental right in the EU. The first part of the book examines the scope, the content and the capabilities of data protection as a fundamental right to resolve problems and to provide for an effective protection. It discusses the current approaches to this right in the legal scholarship and the case-law and identifies the limitations that prevent it from having an added value of its own. It suggests a theory of data protection that reconstructs the understanding of this right and could guide courts and legislators on data protection issues. The second part of the book goes on to empirically test the reconstructed right to data protection in four case-studies of counter-terrorism surveillance: communications metadata, travel data, financial data and Internet data surveillance. The book will be of interest to academics, students, policy-makers and practitioners in EU law, privacy, data protection, counter-terrorism and human rights law.

Download or read book The Transfer of Personal Data from the European Union to the United Kingdom post Brexit written by Leonie Wittershagen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-12-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transfer of personal data to the UK raises a multitude of data protection law issues and opens up the view of the key challenges of global data exchange. The study contains an overall view of the regulations on third country transfers under the GDPR and the current state of regulation in the UK. It provides an assessment as to whether and to what extent the UK provides an adequate level of protection within the meaning of the GDPR for personal data transferred from the EU and whether the EU Commission's adequacy decision under the GDPR is compliant with the CJEU’s relevant case law. The examination of the UK’s data protection law as well as the regulations of the Investigatory Power Act and the extensive onward transfer practice to the USA form a main focus of the study. The alternative data transfer mechanisms and bases (Articles 46, 47 and 49 GDPR) are (also) examined with regard to their practicability for companies. The study also looks at relevant emerging developments and the wider context of the third country regimes of the EU’s data protection regime.

Download or read book Information Sharing and Data Protection in the Area of Freedom Security and Justice written by Franziska Boehm and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privacy and data protection in police work and law enforcement cooperation has always been a challenging issue. Current developments in EU internal security policy, such as increased information sharing (which includes the exchange of personal data between European law enforcement agencies and judicial actors in the area of freedom, security and justice (Europol, Eurojust, Frontex and OLAF)) and the access of EU agencies, in particular Europol and Eurojust, to data stored in European information systems such as the SIS (II), VIS, CIS or Eurodac raise interesting questions regarding the balance between the rights of individuals and security interests. This book deals with the complexity of the relations between these actors and offers for the first time a comprehensive overview of the structures for information exchange in the area of freedom, security and justice and their compliance with data protection rules in this field.

Download or read book The European Union as Guardian of Internet Privacy written by Hielke Hijmans and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of the EU in ensuring privacy and data protection on the internet. It describes and demonstrates the importance of privacy and data protection for our democracies and how the enjoyment of these rights is challenged by, particularly, big data and mass surveillance. The book takes the perspective of the EU mandate under Article 16 TFEU. It analyses the contributions of the specific actors and roles within the EU framework: the judiciary, the EU legislator, the independent supervisory authorities, the cooperation mechanisms of these authorities, as well as the EU as actor in the external domain. Article 16 TFEU enables the Court of the Justice of the EU to play its role as constitutional court and to set high standards for fundamental rights protection. It obliges the European Parliament and the Council to lay down legislation that encompasses all processing of personal data. It confirms control by independent supervisory authorities as an essential element of data protection and it gives the EU a strong mandate to act in the global arena. The analysis shows that EU powers can be successfully used in a legitimate and effective manner and that this subject could be a success story for the EU, in times of widespread euroskepsis. It demonstrates that the Member States remain important players in ensuring privacy and data protection. In order to be a success story, the key stakeholders should be prepared to go the extra mile, so it is argued in the book. The book is based on academic research for which the author received a double doctorate at the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Brussels. It builds on a long inside experience within the European institutions, as well as within the community of data protection and data protection authorities. It is a must read in a time where the setting of EU privacy and data protection is changing dramatically, not only as a result of the rapidly evolving information society, but also because of important legal developments such as the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation. This book will appeal to all those who are in some way involved in making this regulation work. It will also appeal to people interested in the institutional framework of the European Union and in the role of the Union of promoting fundamental rights, also in the wider world.
