The European Union has recently launched and introduced two important measures concerning personal data protection. The new Regulation on personal data protection (that will substitute the directive n. 95/46/CE and also the Privacy Consolidated, Legislative Decree 196/03) will be adopted in the next few months and then will enter into force in all EU States. This will force companies to adopt a real organizational model for data protection with the introduction of the principle of accountability and transparency.
According to Syac TB, Italy was taken as a Reference Model, meaning that the regulations already existing in Italy were taken as reference and the existing prescriptions will remain valid with only a few changes. In case of controls, the penalties for most serious violations will be up to 5% of the company's annual turnover with a maximum fixed at 100 million Euros; in case of multiple infringements, sanctions for each violation will accumulate.
