Bulgaria Plans To Introduce A Range Of Derogations From The EU General Data Protection Regulation

The majority of the specific additional requirements concern compliance with core GDPR requirements and data processing for employment purposes

May 2018 – The Bulgarian government has announced a set of specific requirements relating to the processing of personal data that it plans to introduce to national legislation in addition to the requirements under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"). Such specific requirements (commonly known as "derogations") are allowed by the GDPR in certain areas, such as employment, the role of data protection officers, and data protection impact assessments, as long as they introduce more detailed or tailored rules on data processing without deviating from the letter or spirit of the GDPR.
