THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL SECURITY PROTECTION MEASURES
THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL SECURITY PROTECTION MEASURES

Summary/Abstract: With the development of the information society, protection of personal data has become a current theme in the legal field. Rules to regulate access to this information have been adopted, both at international and national level, since the last two decades of the last century. Romania is no exception in this regard and has adopted a relevant legal framework in the field of private life and personal data protection. Most of these regulations in Romanian legislation are transposed general or sectorial EU directives. The issue of personal data protection has entered a new phase with the increment of challenges and threats specific to the current security environment. Investigating these normative developments, case law interpretations and doctrinal controversy are part of the current debate on the need to strike a fair balance between security and freedom. In this debate, the structural reform of the Romanian legislation on national security, including the one on the protection of personal data, appears necessary.
