The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the recommendation for second reading contained in the report by Jan Philipp ALBRECHT (Greens/EFA, DE) on the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).
The committee recommended that Parliament approve the Council position in first reading without amendment.
To recall, the proposed regulation establishes rules regarding the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and rules on the free flow of such data. It will replace the 1995 Directive on data protection.
