Charter of Fundamental Rights
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which became legally binding in 2009, sets out the fundamental rights protected in the EU in a single document. Those rights designed to uphold the Dignity, Freedoms, Equality, Solidarity, Citizens' Rights and Justice of individuals in the EU are inalienable and universal. The rights include the right to privacy and the right to data protection which serve as the foundation to the work of the EDPS.

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.
You can obtain a paper version of this Annual Report on EU Bookshop.
