Handboek Europese gegevensbeschermings-wetgeving - Editie 2018

De snelle ontwikkeling van de informatietechnologie heeft de noodzaak voor een degelijke bescherming
van persoonsgegevens weer versterkt, het recht dat wordt gewaarborgd door zowel de Europese Unie
(EU) als de Raad van Europa (RvE). De bescherming van dit belangrijke recht brengt nieuwe en belangrijke
uitdagingen met zich mee, aangezien technologische ontwikkelingen de grenzen van domeinen zoals
toezicht, onderschepping van communicatie en gegevensopslag, verlegt. Deze handleiding is bedoeld voor
beoefenaars van juridische beroepen die niet gespecialiseerd zijn in gegevensbescherming, om vertrouwd
te raken met dit opkomende domein van de wet.

Uitdagingen voor maatschappelijke organisaties die zich inzetten voor mensenrechten in de EU - Samenvatting

Maatschappelijke organisaties in de Europese Unie spelen een cruciale rol bij de bevordering van grondrechten, maar het is moeilijker geworden voor hen om dat te doen – wegens
zowel wettelijke als praktische beperkingen. In alle lidstaten van de EU zijn er uitdagingen, maar de precieze aard en omvang ervan verschillen. Gegevens en onderzoek op dit gebied –
inclusief vergelijkend onderzoek – ontbreken over het algemeen.
In het verslag van het FRA wordt daarom gekeken naar de verschillende soorten en patronen van uitdagingen waarmee maatschappelijke organisaties die zich inzetten voor de mensenrechten in de EU, worden geconfronteerd. In het verslag wordt ook de aandacht gevestigd op veelbelovende praktijken die deze zorgwekkende patronen kunnen tegengaan.

Surveillance door inlichtingendiensten: waarborging van de grondrechten en rechtsmiddelen in de Europese Unie - Deel II - Samenvatting

Med tiltagende trusler i form af terrorisme, internetangreb og sofistikerede grænseoverskridende kriminelle netværk er efterretningstjenesternes arbejde blevet mere påtrængende, komplekst og internationalt. Dette arbejde kan kraftigt forstyrre de grundlæggende rettigheder, især beskyttelsen af personoplysninger og privatlivets fred. Selvom den fortsatte teknologiske udvikling potentielt
forværrer risikoen for en sådan forstyrrelse, kan et effektivt tilsyn og effektive retsmidler bremse muligheden for misbrug.

Quotes on surveillance by intelligence services: fundamental rights safeguards and remedies in the EU

This second volume, ‘Surveillance by intelligence services: fundamental rights safeguards and remedies in the EU’, explores legal changes since the first volume in 2015 and how these laws are applied in practice. It is based on data from all EU Member States on the legal framework governing surveillance and complemented by field research in seven Member States: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. This involved more than 70 interviews with a range of stakeholders related to surveillance. These included overseers and controllers from the executive, indedepent expert bodies, parliamentary committees, the judiciary and actors from the civil society. These quotes are contained in the report. Below are a selection of some of them:

Data retention across the EU

In 2006 the EU issued its Data Retention Directive. According to the Directive, EU Member States had to store electronic telecommunications data for at least six months and at most 24 months for investigating, detecting and prosecuting serious crime. In 2016, with an EU legal framework on data retention still lacking, the CJEU further clarified what safeguards are required for data retention to be lawful.This paper looks at amendments to national data retention laws in 2016 after the Digital Rights Ireland judgment.

Scope of the principle of non-refoulement in contemporary border management: evolving areas of law

EU Member States are increasingly involved in border management activities on the high seas, within – or i cooperation with – third countries, and at the EU’s borders. Such activities entail risks of violating the principle of non-refoulement, the cornerstone of the international legal regime for the protection of refugees, which prohibits returning individuals to a risk of persecution. This report aims to encourage fundamental-rights compliant approaches to border management, including by highlighting potential grey areas.
