TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out an analysis of key provisions of the said Regulation with the aim of examining, as much as possible, the possible expectations under the said regulation.
Abstract: On the 27th April 2016, the REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) was adopted by the Member States of the EU with the plan of achieving harmonization and uniformity in the applicable data protection rules in Member States. This Regulation did introduce new provisions into the body of laws on data protection and this could be to some extent knotty owing to their relative novelty. This paper carries out an analysis of key provisions of the said Regulation with the aim of examining, as much as possible, the possible expectations under the said regulation.

TL;DR: The intention of the EU parliament to ensure a high level of data protection while also ensuring that same does not inhibit the free flow of data in the realm of the investigation and prosecution of crime materialized into the adoption of Directive (EU 2016/680 which will become applicable from 2018 repealing the Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The intention of the EU parliament to ensure a high level of data protection while also ensuring that same does not inhibit the free flow of data in the realm of the investigation and prosecution of crime materialized into the adoption of Directive (EU) 2016/680 which will become applicable from 2018 repealing the Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA. This paper examines the changes that have been effected in the new Directive and how some of these provisions will play out on the Directive 95/46/EC being the general data protection directive which has been repealed by the Regulation (EU) 2016/679.The paper will also consider in some cases the relationship between the new Directive and the new Regulation.
The Directive (EU) 2016/680 also provides for a lot of new data protection rules not existent under the previous regime. The effect/possible impact of these are discussed in this paper.

TL;DR: The human rights connotations of the anonymity provided by Tor are explored, coming to the conclusion that this anonymity is an integral part of certain human rights, particularly the right to privacy and theright to freedom of expression.
Abstract: Tor is one of the most popular technical means of anonymising one's identity and location online. While it has been around for more than a decade, it is only in recent years that Tor has begun appearing in mainstream media and openly catching the attention of governments and private citizens alike. The conflicting interests related to the use and abuse of Tor also raise a number of legal issues that are yet to be analysed in depth in academic literature. This article focuses on a number of relevant legal issues pertaining to Tor and reflects our initial legal comments, while noting that all of the identified legal questions merit further research. After introducing the technical side of Tor and the attitudes of governments towards it, we (1) explore the human rights connotations of the anonymity provided by Tor, coming to the conclusion that this anonymity is an integral part of certain human rights, particularly the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. Government activities with respect to Tor should thus not be unlimited. In relation to this, we (2) provide a closer look at the problem of content liability of the Tor exit node operators. Finally, we (3) point out several legal problems in conducting criminal investigations with the need to obtain the evidence from the Tor network. We conduct this legal analysis in the context of international and European law, paying a particular attention to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union.

TL;DR: While a considerable improvement and major step forward for the protection of personal data in its field, the Directive is unlikely to mend the fragmented legal framework and achieve the intended high level of data protection standards consistent across European Union member states.
Abstract: This article presents a two-sided analysis of the recently adopted Police and Criminal Justice Authorities Directive. First, it examines the impact of the Directive on the current legal framework and considers to what extent it is capable of overcoming existing obstacles to a consistent and comprehensive data protection scheme in the area of police and criminal justice. Second, it delivers a brief outline and review of the provisions of the Directive itself and explores whether the instrument improves upon the current legislation and sets out adequate data protection rules and standards. Analyzing the Directive from these angles, this article finds that while a considerable improvement and major step forward for the protection of personal data in its field, the Directive is unlikely to mend the fragmented legal framework and achieve the intended high level of data protection standards consistent across European Union member states.
