The Comments on the Law on Personal Data Protection review the systematics of the Law and serve as a tool for its better understanding and implementation.

According to Valentina Dimkovska from the Directorate for Personal Data Protection (DPDP), although the Law on Personal Data Protection is in full compliance with the European standards, and has received words of praise from the relevant European institutions, it can still be better implemented.

 

On the eve of the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the legal framework for personal data protection in the Republic of Macedonia, the Comments on the Law will aim to contribute to overcoming the identified problems in terms of realizing the protection of personal data.

Aside from the publication, the numerous guests had the opportunity to ask questions related to personal data protection, and the representatives of FOSIM and DPDP were elaborating segments (via examples and presentations) of the Law on Personal Data Protection, that were indicated as problematic segments in the practical application of the Law.

The publications are result of the long term cooperation between the Foundation Open Society Institute – Macedonia and the Directorate for Personal Data Protection.
