EU Data Protection Regulation breaks explicit link with “privacy” and Human Rights.

Just published on Hawktalk (http://amberhawk.typepad.com/amberhawk/)

The Data Protection Regulation intended to replace Directive 95/46/EC has broken the very explicit link to Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. It has also replaced the “right to privacy” with “the right to the protection of personal data”....

....In short, the “right to data protection” upon which this Regulation is to be based is currently a confused, ill-defined concept. This is not an auspicious beginning.
