On January 10, 2017, the European Commission published a statement regarding its proposal of high-level privacy rules for all electronic communications. The Commission published its proposal for an "ePrivacy Regulation," replacing the ePrivacy Directive, and new legislation to ensure stronger privacy and a higher level of data protection already imposed by the new General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). The measures also aim to create new possibilities to process communication data and reinforce trust and security in the Digital Single Market, a key objective of the Digital Single Market Strategy. For more information on the proposal, please see Jones Day's Commentary.
