In brief
- Article 98 authorises the European Commission to propose legislative amendments to harmonise data protection.
- It aims for uniform consistency of the legal framework on data protection across the European Union.
- Data Comply One helps you track the evolution of these legislative provisions to remain compliant.
What Article 98 of the GDPR provides
Article 98 of the GDPR grants the European Commission the ability to submit, when it deems necessary, legislative proposals aimed at amending other Union legal acts relating to the protection of personal data. The objective is to ensure uniform and consistent protection of personal data across the entire European territory, by aligning the various sector-specific texts with the principles established by the GDPR.
This article is part of a living law logic: the European regulatory framework can evolve to adapt to technological, economic and social realities. Organisations must therefore maintain active monitoring of legislative developments likely to impact their compliance obligations, whether in the healthcare sector, financial services, telecommunications or other regulated domains.
