What is the main difference between Directive 95/46 / EC and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

Hah, leave it to the EU to come up with regulations that are more flexible than their predecessors. I bet there's a joke in there somewhere about Brussels bureaucrats finally learning the value of subsidiarity. *wink*

Ah, the age-old question of harmonization versus localization. I guess the EU decided to loosen the reins a bit with the GDPR. Wonder if that was a political compromise or a practical necessity. Either way, I bet the lawyers are loving it!

Wait, so the GDPR is more of a framework and the Directive was more prescriptive? That makes sense, although I bet it's been a headache for compliance teams to navigate the nuances across the EU.

Hmm, the GDPR giving more leeway to member states is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it could lead to more nuanced implementation. On the other, it might result in a patchwork of data protection laws. I wonder how that's worked out in practice.

Yes, that's correct. GDPR aims to harmonize data protection laws across the EU, while Directive 95/46/EC allowed more flexibility for Member States.

I agree with Deonna. GDPR is more strict and binding compared to Directive 95/46/EC.

I think the main difference is that GDPR has the force of law, while Directive 95/46/EC offers guidance.

The main difference seems to be the level of flexibility for EU member states. Directive 95/46/EC was more rigid, while the GDPR allows for some tailoring by individual countries. Interesting how regulations evolve over time.
