Book Description
European businesses, from the smallest family company to the largest multinational corporation, will soon find themselves impacted by new European Community Data Protection legislation. Business managers, lawyers, and others involved in data protection must ready themselves to deal with the coming changes. Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 concerns the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of such data, with the intent to harmonise the differing data protection regimes operating in the Member States of the European Union. If your organisation handles personal information, it is essential that you understand the requirements of the Directive now so that you can make arrangements to comply. "A Business Guide to Changes in European Data Protection Legislation" will help you greatly in complying with the legal requirements. The work is written in plain English, cutting through complicated terminology in a way that will appeal to business managers as well as to lawyers and data protection specialists. It provides article-by-article analysis of the 'General Directive' (95/46/EC) and the sector specific 'Telecommunications Directive' (97/66/EC), along with an overview of EU and EEA institutions and political processes, a glossary of terms, and other key fundamental reference materials. Because the European Community Data Protection legislation is the first regional legislation of its kind in the world, specialists around the globe will find this guide compelling and important. Purchasers of this "Guide" may also order a Hypertext Electronic version on CD ROM. This provides a simple andrapid way to retrieve the information you need.
