Some aspects of the Romanian law on implementing measures for the general data protection regulation

Abstract

This short article intends to examine some aspects of the Romanian law on implementing measures for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), such as the processing of the national identification number, personal data processing in the context of labor relations, the personal data processing for journalistic purposes or the purpose of academic artistic or literary expression, and, last but not least, the corrective measures and penalties for the infringement of the General Data Protection Regulation. Only time will tell if, in accordance with the specific nature of our national legal regime, the Romanian policy-maker was inspired by the legislative solutions adopted for the application of the GDPR.
