The misuse of data protection rules in the European Union

The misuse of data protection rules in the European Union (European Ombudsman)

The European Ombudsman is concerned that data protection rules, especially Regulation 45/2001, are being diverted from their proper purpose of helping to ensure respect for the individual right to privacy as laid down by Article 8 (1) of the European Convention on Human Rights: Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. Instead, they are being used to undermine the principle of openness in public activities.
