German Draft Act concerning the adaption of the upcoming GDPR

14. September 2016

The German Minister of Interior just released a Draft Act concerning the adaptipon of  the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will come into force in 2018.

However, netzpolitik.org published an article dealing with the critics about the respective draft, which have a crushing impact. Especially, both the Minister of Justice and the Federal Data Protection Officer released statements raising concerns. They worry that due to the Draft Act the data protection level will decrease in Germany so that in the end it will be less than before the GDPR.
