As yet, we only have preliminary details concerning the workshop, however, we anticipate the workshop will address the following questions:<br><br>- Is there a need to supplement the classic privacy principles from the OECD, CoE and EU with new principles? <br>- Is data protection enough or should the legislative framework be more inclusive and address privacy in a broader sense? <br>- How do we empower citizens to be aware about privacy issues and deal with privacy issues in their everyday life?<br>- How do we strengthen the national Data Protection Authorities to give them better possibilities to ensure a cross-national coherent interpretation of the legislation?<br>- How can legislation be used to encourage the use of “privacy by design”, “privacy enhancing technologies” and “privacy impact assessment”? <br>- How do we create incentives among companies and in public administration to minimize the collection of personal data?<br><br>Further, it is our present understanding that the output of the workshop may be submitted to the European Commission for consideration in its review of the Directive.<br><br>We welcome your input regarding those questions for possible speaking points. Please send me your comments by Friday 18 March 2011, or earlier if possible.<br><br>[Europe and the review of Directive 2004/48/EC]<br><br>(2) The Internet Society is proposing to respond to the European Commission Consultation on the Commission Report on the enforcement of intellectual property rights (<a href="http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/2011/intellectual_property_rights_en.htm">http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/consultations/2011/intellectual_property_rights_en.htm</a>) which closes on 31 March 2011.<br><br>To help us build our response, we welcome your comments regarding the report by 21 March 2011, or earlier if possible.<br><br>Thank you very much,<br><br><div>Christine</div><div>--<br><div apple-content-edited="true"><br></div><br></div></body></html>
