General Scheme of Data Protection Bill 2017: Discussion
9:40 am
Mr. Seamus Carroll:
That is a very interesting and important point. We are aware of the provision in German law. One of the difficulties we face here is whether, when an article of the GDPR does not make specific reference to the possibility of national law, national law is nonetheless possible. As I mentioned towards the end of my presentation, this question - namely, whether further effect or some kind of flanking measure to Article 82 may be included in our Bill - is one of the questions about which we are in consultation with the Attorney General at present. The question is, therefore, under active consideration.
