European Data Protection Laws and Freedom of Expression -

European Data Protection Laws and Freedom of Expression, edited by Professor David Erdos Co-Director of CIPIL, draws on over a decade of intensive research activity. Both the National Reports and Overview Guide draw especially on the following publications:

David Erdos, European Data Protection Regulation, Journalism, and Traditional Publishers: Balancing on a Tightrope? (Oxford: Oxford University Press 2019)
David Erdos, "European Data Protection and Media Expression: Fundamentally Off Balance" International and Comparative Law Quarterly, Vol. 65 (1), pp. 139-183 (2016)

Some of the constitutional information also draws on information originally included in the following Research Paper. Much of the research has depended on a considerable amount of research assistance and input from specialists, a non-exhaustive listing of which is provided below.

The National Reports draw extensively on the publications above and on a wide range of unpublished research. With input and oversight from David Erdos, Katja Achermann as the project’s research assistant during 2020-21 compiled the initial National Reports (other than for the United Kingdom) and, in particular, updated material to account for the reforms of ʻthird-generationʼ period. She also ensured coverage of Switzerland within the Report series. The Reports have subsequently been edited to ensure provide additional consistency and specification and the Overview Guide has also been completed. Both the National and Overview Reports are designed to function as a continuing resource and so will be further updated including with an analysis of constitutional/primary law provisions later this year.

Alongside individuals, the institutional support of both CIPIL and the Cambridge Humanities Research Grant Scheme are gratefully acknowledged.

Given the breadth of the project, omissions and even mistakes are inevitable. Suggestions for corrections and/or additions should be sent to David Erdos at doe20@cam.ac.uk.
