"Madam President, data is the lifeblood of the global economy, and the use of data has totally transformed the way we work, live and socialise. It has become vital to our economic and security interests. However, we currently operate under a legal regime that was created before Twitter, Uber and Amazon were twinkles in any billionaire’s eye.
My Group and I have at times had serious reservations about the content of these proposals and the direction negotiations took on certain issues, but I hope that, now we are at the end, a pragmatic and workable solution has been put in place. This data protection legislation will only last up to another 20 years, like the last, but if it is capable of establishing technology-neutral and principles-based rules, it will be successful.
This regulation is without doubt a comprehensive change to many issues surrounding the processing of data, and the implementation of the regulation is key. What businesses do not want is heavy-handed regulation, and what consumers do not want are complicated rules that give no greater clarity on what their rights are. We – thankfully – ended up with a far more sensible and workable set of ideas, related to consent, fines, notification periods, scientific research, direct marketing in legitimate interests, and derogations for small and medium-sized businesses.
These issues were key for my political group, and my hope is that the new rules will increase consumer trust and create a level playing field, legally across the EU, where businesses know exactly what they can and cannot do, which in turn will attract future investment in the digital single market from outside the EU and allow innovation and industry to flourish. Both the Data Protection Regulation and the Law Enforcement Directive are about creating trust in our individual systems and therefore creating more trust for our EU cross-border cooperation."@en1
