The IAPP Newsletter informs today that in separate rulings this past week, the European Court of Justice has determined two key issues related to data protection. In the SCARLET EXTENDED (BELGACOM GROUP) v SABAM case, which dates back to 2004, the European Court of Justice found that a requirement for a Belgian ISP to install a general filtering system was prohibited by Article 15(1) of the E-Commerce Directive. Meanwhile, as Bird & Bird Partner Ariane Mole writes in this Daily Dashboard exclusive, a November 24 decision by the court found “Spain had not transposed correctly the provisions concerning the balance of interests of EC Directive 95/46 on personal data protection and that consequently Spanish law is in breach of Article 7(f) of the directive.” The decisions are expected to have significant impacts, according to experts.

Hi nice reading your postt
Hello,
I’m Gabriela
Welcome to pdpecho, my blog about personal data protection and privacy. Here, I have been accompanying my passion for this field with thoughts and writing throughout the years, pushing the boundaries of data protection law and hoping to explain its beauty and value to the world. Opinions here are strictly mine, so is the writing (I never use LLMs to write).
