2009 Annual Report - A year of major importance for the fundamental right to data protection
The report shows that 2009 was of major importance for the fundamental right to data protection.
This is due to a number of key developments: the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty, ensuring a strong legal basis for comprehensive data protection in all areas of EU policy; the start of a public consultation on the future of the EU legal framework for data protection; and the adoption of a new five-year policy programme for the area of freedom, security and justice ("Stockholm Programme") with the emphasis on the importance of data protection in this area.
The EDPS has been highly involved in these fields and is determined to pursue this course in the near future.
