Provisions for the adaptation of national legislation to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (legislative decree – preliminary examination)
The Council of Ministers, upon a proposal from President Paolo Gentiloni and Minister of Justice Andrea Orlando, has approved, in preliminary examination, a legislative decree that, implementing Article 13 of the European Delegation Law 2016-2017 (Law No. 163 of 25 October 2017), introduces provisions to adapt national legislation to the provisions of the European Regulation on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.
Effective May 25, 2018, when the provisions of European law will come into force, the current Personal Data Protection Code, pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30, 2003, will be repealed. The new legislation will primarily consist of the immediately applicable provisions of the aforementioned Regulation and those contained in the draft decree aimed at harmonizing domestic law with the new European Union regulatory framework for privacy protection.
