On January 10, 2017, the European Commission published a statement regarding its proposal of high-level
privacy rules for all electronic communications. The Commission
published its proposal for an "ePrivacy
Regulation," replacing the ePrivacy Directive, and new
legislation to ensure stronger privacy and a higher level of data
protection already imposed by the new General Data Protection
Regulation ("GDPR"). The measures also aim to create new
possibilities to process communication data and reinforce trust and
security in the Digital Single Market, a key objective of the
Digital Single Market Strategy. For more information on the
proposal, please see Jones Day's Commentary.
