What does ePrivacy look like under new presidency?
Bulgaria took over the rolling presidency of the EU on Jan. 1, and, although an overly ambitious May deadline has been abandoned, moved quickly to get the ball rolling. The Commission’s proposal for the ePrivacy regulation was published a year ago, and despite much political wrangling, the European Parliament also reached its position before the end of 2017. Now everyone is waiting on the Council (made up of 28 national representatives) to come up with its view before so-called trilogue negotiations can begin. Some say it’s easy to see now that May date to coincide with GDPR implementation was too optimistic.
