European Commission Sets 2015 Deadline for New Data Laws
"The European Commission this week confirmed its determination to pass major new data protection laws before the year is out.
Vice-president Andrus Ansip and Commissioner Vera Jourová used European Data Protection Day on Wednesday to issue a lengthy notice on the long-awaited European General Data Protection Regulation.
It explained how, although the European Parliament voted to back the Commission’s proposals in March 2014, justice ministers from member states are still mulling over various aspects of the regulation in the Council of the EU."
