On December 17, 2015, the European Parliament and Council of the European Union agreed on the final draft of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation, which will become applicable on May 25, 2018, brings significant changes to EU data protection laws and will require businesses to adapt their practices in terms of data protection (appointment of a data protection officer, data mapping, prioritization of compliance actions, risk management, organization of internal processes, keeping documents on compliance measures).
