On June 10, the New Media, IT and Privacy working committee held a roundtable on the the future amendments to the 1995 European Data Protection Directive, and what these changes mean for business. Guest speakers Florence Raynal, Head of the International Division for the French Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) and Christian Pardieu, Head of Privacy Policy for GE in Europe, shared their points of view regarding the key features that we are likely to see in the revised Directive.
