✦ Synopsis

The prime purpose of this guide is to assist companies in their understanding and preparation for the implementation of the two data protection directives -the 'General Directive' (95/46/EC) and 'Telecommunications Directive' (97/66/EC) introduced in the past few years.These measures are likely to have a significant impact on businesses that will need an informed view of the subject, which is what this guide intends.The main part of the work begins with a business overview of the General Directive, followed by an article-by-article analysis of the content.This is followed by similar treatment of the Telecommunications Sector-specific Directive. Finally there is an overview of the institutions and political processes in the European Union and in the European economic area, with the aim of providing necessary background information for an understanding of how the directives will be implemented and updated in future.With this book comes a demonstration disk of the hypertext version of the guide which can be purchased separately.
