Reuters reports this evening (Tuesday 15 December 2015) that the long awaited EU General Data Protection Regulation has reached agreement among the European Commission, European Parliament and Council of Ministers.
A second reading will now follow in the European Parliament and the publication of the GDPR now seems highly likely mid-January 2016.
Thereafter, transition arrangements will need to be in place across the whole of the EU so that Member States can adopt the new EU Regulation.
