*Scope of the Conference*
The Article 29 Working Party has called for the adoption of an
“Accountability Principle” within Data Protection frameworks in its
Opinion 3/2010. This mainly includes more concrete measures and
mechanisms that can demonstrably be implemented and enhance
self-regulation. Similarly to other fields of compliance, a sort of
self-regulation tool box is recommended consisting of internal
procedures, supervision, management tools, trainings, the appointment of
Data Protection Officers and so forth.
Key questions that arise from this potential adoption of an
accountability principle include:
* Is thinking about the concept of accountability a way of
conceptualising privacy as more than simply about 'data'?
* Is accountability responsibility to more than the law? Can thinking
about accountability bring in concepts of voluntary, yet binding, codes
of conduct?
* Is accountability more than a principle? Do discussions about
accountability bring in issues of 'the public'?
The international conference hosted by the PATS Project in Berlin
provides a forum for the discussion of this new Accountability
principle. It is perceived as a concept which needs to be both filled
with more specifications and informed by current research about privacy,
surveillance and data protection.
