Will the UK’s approach to the GDPR be harmonised?

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

If Member States can, by law, exercise legislative “flexibility” when implementing 50+ Articles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), how can the Regulation ever become harmonised across European Union?

Pose this important question another way: given that the UK Government intends to use legislative flexibility to the maximum in favour of the interests of controllers (see report on meeting with the Minister in January; references), how do we know that the UK will not enact something that could be described as “GDPR lite”?

If interested go to the blog  (or perhaps one of our workshops in London & Edinburgh)
