"In the age of the Internet, the question of the protection of personal data is one of the most crucial. Consumers expect to know who is using their data and how, and sometimes wish to enjoy ‘the right to be forgotten’ if they do not allow companies to take advantage of their personal data.
This is the purpose of the Commission’s Communication on a ‘comprehensive approach to personal data protection in the EU’, which was followed by an own-initiative report in Parliament. The Commission is proposing to revise current legislation on data protection and adjust it to the fast-moving technological and globalised environment created by the use of the Internet.
Against this background, the Voss report identifies challenges in the Commission revision and calls for the establishment of a harmonised law on data protection that consolidates the diverse rules across the Member States.
Another scoop of this report relates to the geographical coverage on the data protection legislation. Accordingly, European companies who operate within and outside Europe, as well as international companies who process European citizens’ data, will apply European data protection law. I believe the Voss report is a desirable step in guaranteeing further protection of the personal data of EU citizens. Therefore, I voted in favour of it."@en1
