Long abstract
OECD Recommendation on Cross-border Co-operation in the Enforcement of Laws Protecting Privacy
OECD governments have agreed on a new framework for co-operation in the enforcement of privacy laws. The initiative is motivated by a recognition that changes in the character and volume of cross-border data flows have elevated privacy risks for individuals and highlighted the need for better co-operation among the authorities charged with providing them protection. Embodied in a new OECD Recommendation, the framework reflects a commitment by governments to improve their domestic frameworks for privacy law enforcement to better enable their authorities to co-operate with foreign authorities, as well as to provide mutual assistance to one another in the enforcement of privacy laws. The Recommendation is grounded in the 1980 OECD Privacy Guidelines, which remain an influential statement of the foundations of privacy protection more then 25 years after their adoption. |
