"The world around us has been completely transformed by the rapid development of technology and globalisation, and new challenges have appeared in the area of personal data protection. Technology today enables individuals to share information about what they do and about their likes and dislikes, and enables them to publish this and make it globally accessible on a scale never seen before. Social networking websites are the most prominent example, with hundreds of millions of members all around the world. A recent study confirmed that data protection bodies, business federations and organisations representing consumers all agree that online activities entail increased risks from the perspective of protecting privacy and personal data. At the same time, the methods for collecting personal data are more sophisticated and perhaps more difficult to detect. It is therefore right to ask whether existing EU legislation in the area of data protection is still capable of responding fully and effectively to potential threats. Despite the existence of the EU’s common legal framework on data protection, the insufficient harmonisation of Member State legislation is one of the main continuing fears of the parties concerned. I firmly believe that the EU should draw up a complex and coherent approach, ensuring full compliance with the basic right of individuals to the protection of data, both inside and outside the EU."@en1
