WRITTEN QUESTION P-0281/00 by Graham Watson (ELDR) to the Commission (3 February 2000) Subject: National data protection laws Is the Commission aware that, owing to disparities in national implementation of the 1995 Data Protection Directive, national data protection laws are prejudicing cross-border trade, and that this will have considerable impact on the development of e-commerce within the EU? What is the Commission's view of the extension of data protection laws to cover not only personal data, as envisaged by the Directive, but also the processing of corporate data? Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission (17 February 2000) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question E-2436/99 by Mrs Wallis(1).
