The May 2014 judgment by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Case C-131/12 relating to Google and the 'right to be forgotten' was wrong in principle, and the assumption of the Presidency that the 'right to be forgotten' exists has created an unworkable and unreasonable situation, said the United Kingdom House of Lords Home Affairs, Health and Education EU Sub-Committee in a report published on the 29 July 2014. In response, EurActiv reported that the European Commissioner for Justice Martine Reicherts said, 'The recent European Court of Justice ruling does not elevate the right to be forgotten to a 'super right' trumping other fundamental rights, such as the freedom of expression or the freedom of the media'. |
