A records manager thinks Directive 95/46/EC is still the primary EU personal-data statute for general processing. Which update should training deliver?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Directive 95/46 was the old general playbook; the GDPR is the new regulation that took over that field. Keeping the Directive as “still primary” is like quoting a retired employee handbook after a company-wide rewrite. Know the history — apply the successor.
Full Explanation
Directive 95/46/EC established the prior general EU data-protection framework implemented through national laws. The GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) repealed and replaced that Directive for general processing of personal data, applying directly as a regulation. Historical familiarity with the Directive remains useful for continuity of principles, but it is not the current primary general statute.
