The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) released his mid-mandate annual report for 2016.
He states that the new EU data protection framework consists of much more than just the GDPR. New rules for the EU institutions and ePrivacy are yet to be finalised, and remain a key focal point for EDPS work. As well as providing advice to the legislator on these new rules, the EDPS has started working with the EU institutions and bodies to prepare them for the changes to come.
The EDPS reports that in 2016 he also made a considerable effort to help move the global debate on data protection and privacy forward and mainstream data protection into international policies.

The issues of privacy are central in the work of LIBRe Foundation and we are in cooperation with the Bulgarian Commission for Personal Data Protection on the subject. Earlier this year we have released short educational videos on personal data in the digital age adapted for Bulgaria. The videos were developed in partnership with CPDP and ApTI Romania (more information on the project may be found here).
