Publieke consultatie over evaluatie en review van ePrivacy-verordening

Consultatie 12 april tot 5 juli 2016 (evaluatie en review van ePrivacy-verordening)
In 6 May 2015, the Commission adopted the Digital Single Market (DSM) Strategy, which announced that, following the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation, the ePrivacy rules would also be reviewed. The review of the ePrivacy Directive is one of the key initiatives aimed at reinforcing trust and security in digital services in the EU with a focus on ensuring a high level of protection for citizens and a level playing field for all market players. The review will be preceded by a Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT), which aims at evaluating the performances of the current legislation against criteria such as efficiency, effectiveness and EU added value. The Commission is now consulting stakeholders on both the retrospective evaluation and the possible changes to the current ePrivacy Directive. The Commission will use the feedback from the consultation to prepare a new legislative proposal on ePrivacy, which is expected by the end of 2016.
