Data protection in EU countries has been to a great extent harmonized over the last
20 years (Directive 1995/46 and subsequent amendments).
Data protection on telecom networks has been to a great extent harmonized for
over 15 years (Directive 2002/22 and subsequent amendments).
Data protection has become a central aspect of EU external policy though
a great number of decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union
