E-privacy regulation - new European framework for regulation on privacy and electronic communications designed to protect user privacy in the digital age

On September 18, 2019, the Presidency of the European Council published its proposed amendments to the Proposal for a Regulation Concerning the Respect for Private Life and the Protection of Personal Data in Electronic Communications (the “Draft ePrivacy Regulation”). The Draft ePrivacy Regulation will replace the existing ePrivacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002 known as ePrivacy Directive and will complete the EU’s framework for data protection and confidentiality of electronic communications. In this paper, the author will present ePrivacy as a new 'regulation' that will be a legal act and enforceable in its entirety across all member states, much like GDPR, bringing the new rules designed to maintain user privacy in the digital age. That's instead of a directive, which allows each member state to introduce its own mechanisms for the law provided they match the content of the original directive.
