COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL Stronger protection, new opportunities - Commission guidance on the direct application of the General Data Protection Regulation as of 25 May 2018 · European Union

The Regulation did not substantially change the core concepts and principles of the data protection legislation put in place back in 1995. This should mean that the vast majority of controllers and processors, provided that they are already in compliance with the existing EU data protection laws, will not need to make major changes to their data processing operations to comply with the Regulation.
