European Union (EU) Directive 95, Data Protection
Directive establishes common rules for data protection among Member
States of the EU in order to facilitate the free flow of personal
data within the EU.
The Directive requires businesses in EU Member States
to follow a set of rules that apply to the processing of all personal
data.
While all Member States must comply with the Directive
by October 1998, the Directive allows Member States 12 additional
years to bring existing manual filing systems into conformity with
the Directive.
