The ICDP - which consists of 21 industry associations representing thousands of European and international companies who are building, delivering, and advancing the digital experience - shares the Commission’s aspiration to ensure that Europe becomes a global leader in the Information and Communications Technology sector and reaches its full potential in the fields of Big Data, data-driven science and the Internet of Things.
The Coalition doubts whether the legislative text on Data Protection proposed by the European Commission and the versions currently being considered by the Council and the European Parliament are compatible with the goals of the Digital Single Market strategy. While there are elements that are helpful, overall, the Coalition believes that the Regulation risks increasing red tape and creating legal uncertainty.
