The EU Data Protection Rules – Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council – On the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data to give its snappy full name – are the usual bureaucrats’ quagmire, giving the impression that their primary purpose is to provide job opportunities for Belgian civil servants.

A thank-you, therefore, to Trilantic, who have summarised them all, with links to each country from a clickable map, and to the text of the relevant Articles. They prudently accompany it with a Disclaimer.
