The UK’s Ministry of Justice has today opened an informal consultation on the proposed new EU data protection rules.
The MoJ is keen to emphasise that this is not a formal consultation, but rather a “call for evidence” to assist the UK government in forthcoming negotiations at EU level.
The call for evidence is open until 6 March 2012. You can access the papers and respond by way of an online questionnaire by following this link.
