27 October – Conference. The new General Data Protection Regulation: revision of the principles in a new border-free setting

First to speak was Santiago Farré, head of the APDCAT Legal Advice department, who emphasised that the traditional principles governing data processing have not varied substantially. However, he highlighted the introduction of the accountability principle, which adds a proactive vision to the responsibility for all data processing that is carried out. Thus, those responsible for the processing will have to adopt appropriate measures to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and, moreover, will have to be able to demonstrate that they have done so.

In the following address, Rafael García Gozalo, head of the International Department of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), made an in-depth examination of the subject of international transfers. He pointed out that the classic European vision continues, but in a more simplified system which nonetheless maintains a high level of guarantee, as decisions on adjustments will have to be re-visited on a regular basis.
