This position paper sets out the views and concerns of the IRSG data protection working group. We recognise the need to update the existing Data Protection Directive, aiming to create a uniform data protection regime across the European Union. However, we are concerned about the Regulation proposals as currently drafted which we believe:
would not deliver the discernible benefits intended for data subjects whilst placing significant additional burdens on organisations;
could cause inconsistency and duplication among existing EU and international laws and regulations to which financial institutions are subject;
could affect consumer protection measures to prevent or detect fraud or financial crime; and
could impact on the inward business investment into the EU.
This paper focuses on four keys areas: accountability, proportionality, use of data and extra-territoriality.
