EMERGENCY BRIEFING: DATA RETENTION DIRECTIVE

Data Protection Law & Policy is holding a half day Emergency Briefing on
Thursday 26 January at 8.30am to 1.00pm in London. The Briefing is being
hosted by global law firm Morrison & Foerster.

The controversial Data Retention Directive won approval from the European
Parliament on Wednesday 14 December, despite misgivings from Members of the
European Parliament and anger from the communications industry.

The event is being organised to look at the implications of the Directive -
and its transposition into UK law - for telecommunications companies,
internet service providers, mobile operators and e-commerce businesses.

The Directive, which has been promoted as a key tool in the fight against
terrorism will require telecommunications companies to retain telephone and
internet data for between six months and two years. National governments
will be free to decide the exact period within these constraints, and will
also be free to decide whether or not to reimburse the costs incurred by the
telecommunications industry in retaining data.

Expert speakers will explain the practical implications of the Directive,
its impact both in the UK and Europe, the timetable for implementation, what
flexibility there is in the implementation of the Directive into UK law, the
potential costs and who will bear them.

Karin Retzer and John Angel, Of Counsels, Morrison & Foerster will provide
an overview of the provisions of the directive.

Simon Watkin of the Covert Investigation Policy Team at the Home Office will
give an insight into how the UK government sees the process of
implementation into UK law and will give an idea of the UK's likely approach
to some of the key points in the Directive, including time scales for which
data will be held and the remuneration of operators.

Martin Hoskins, Data Protection Manager, T-Mobile (UK) Ltd will explain the
practical implications of the Directive and its impact both in the UK and
Europe.

Gus Hosein, Senior Fellow at Privacy International will look at who will be
allowed to access the data, the impact of case law and the Human Rights Act.

The Emergency Briefing, which is being organised by Data Protection Law &
Policy and co-hosted by Morrison & Foerster will take in London on 26
January from 9.00am to 1.00pm - registration from 8.30am.
