On the 25th of May 2019, we celebrate one year of direct application in all EU Member States of the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 27 April 2016.

This Regulation established a unique set of rules designed to protect more effectively the privacy of natural persons within the European Union.

With the occasion of the celebration of one year from the application of this European normative act, the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing will organise a series of activities in order to increase the awareness degree of the general public about the new rules of ensuring the protection of personal data and the specific rights that natural persons enjoy.

Thus, for the marking of this event, a message of public interest regarding the main issues regulated by the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 is disseminated, with the support of the Bucharest Transport Company STB SA, in the public transport means.

The same message will also be broadcast via the television system available in the metro and Henri Coanda International Airport.
