ICO decides that European Commission’s criticism of the Data Protection Act should be published

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

Just a brief note on my pet obsession; should data controllers and data subjects in the UK know why the European Commission claims that the Data Protection Act 1998 is a defective implementation of Directive 95/46/EC? The good news is that I have obtained a Decision Notice that requires some of the full details to be provided to me; the bad news is that the Government has 35 days to appeal.
