On February 10, 2021, the Council of the European Union released its proposed ePrivacy Regulation. If adopted, the ePR will complement and extend the GDPR. The ePR would be deemed lex specialis in relation to the GDPR as lex generalis, meaning the ePR would take precedence in the event of any conflicts. The ePR would apply to organizations and providers that facilitate electronic communications. The next step is the trilogue process. Most observers think the European Parliament will ask for some potentially significant changes to the Council Proposal. In subsequent posts we’ll unpack some significant aspects of the Proposal.
