Industry and MEPs grapple over data protection law

EUObserver, on 02.04.13, reported that Jacob Kohnstamm, the head of the EU data advisory group, says that concerns by industry that the European Parliament’s version of the EU data protection bill will fundamentally change how data complaints are handled are unfounded.

He refuted claims that there are major differences between the draft data protection bill proposed by the European Commission and the amended bill proposed by German Green MEP Jan Philipp Albrecht when it comes to who should spearhead investigations against industry abuse.
