What is Data Protection Regulation and Jurisdiction about?

Chapter 7 focuses on the intriguing question of when EU law is applied to, and enforced against, foreign data controllers by data protection authorities situated in a Member State of the EU. This chapter examines jurisdiction and applicable law in the area of data protection enforcement in the light of recent jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU and Member States’ courts. Given that this caselaw relates to the “old” data protection instrument, namely the Data Protection Directive 1995/46/EC (DPD), this is contrasted with the “new” General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which entered into force in 2018. The comparison with the now superseded DPD is also important as it sketches the background and development of EU data protection law, which is important for the wider context and in particular for showing how difficult a coordination of national competences in this field has been. The chapter does not examine jurisdiction in civil litigation before the courts (Chapter 11), but instead focuses exclusively on administrative and regulatory competence under public law.
