Statewatch has obtained two recent documents relating to the ongoing secret 'trilogue' discussions (between the Council, the Parliament and the Commission) on the forthcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation.

See:

  • Presidency, 'Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (General Data Protection Regulation) - Chapter II, preparation of trilogue', 10790/15, 13 July 2015 (pdf)

    The document invites contributions from Member States' delegations on the following issues:

  • Article 5 - Principles related to personal data processing
  • Article 6 - Lawfulness of processing
  • Article 7 - Conditions for consent
  • Article 8 - Conditions applicable to child's consent in relation to information society services
  • Article 9 - Processing of special categories of personal data
  • Article 10 - Processing not requiring identification

    It also contains a table outlining the positions of the different institutions.
