Statewatch Analysis: Basic data protection principles in the proposed Data Protection Regulation: back to the future?

"So far, 2015 is not like the Back to the Future movies promised it would be like. In particular, there are no hoverboards (drones are a poor substitute). Moreover, instead of agreeing a data protection framework fully fit for 2015, the Council is probably about to agree that the key principles of the law should remain as they were in 1995 – which might as well be 1985 (or even 1955) in terms of technology law."
