Overview
Diletta De Cicco and Charles Helleputte have authored an article for One Trust Data Guidance titled “Belgium: Balancing Data Protection and National Security.” The July article discusses how the Belgian Data Protection Authority is inviting the Belgian legislator to review its conclusions on the draft law on the collection and retention of electronic communication data and on their access by public authorities to better align with the La Quadrature du Net judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union of October 6, 2020. Diletta and Charles analyze the Belgian Data Protection Authority’s response to the draft law.
