The legislative act is known as the EU Law Enforcement Directive (LED) (known also as the EU Police Directive), a twin sister to the far more widely known General Data Protection Regulation \u2013 GDPR). Both GDPR and LED are part of a new EU legislative package that has significantly improved personal data protection standards. They were adopted in the spring of 2016 and have been in force since May 2018. While the General Regulation has garnered most of the attention from the expert community, governmental and non-governmental sector, the business world and the broader public concerned with individual privacy, the Law Enforcement Directive is rather specific \u2013 for both the circumstances in which it applies and from the approaches it adopts.<\/p>\n
This backgrounder does not cover either the General Data Protection Regulation nor the Serbia\u2019s 2018 Law on Personal Data Protection, as they have been covered and analysed elsewhere. However, the backgrounder does make use of official terminology used in the Law and does, for illustrative purposes, use examples from Serbia.<\/p>\n
