In the age of technological advancement, including the emergence of
artificial intelligence, big data, and the internet of things, the
need for privacy and protection has risen massively. This
phenomenon has led to the enforcement of two major legal directives
in the European Union (EU) that aim to provide vigorous protection
of personal data. There is a need for research on the repercussions
and developments that have materialized with these recent
regulations and how the rest of the world has been affected.

Union is an essential reference source that critically discusses
different aspects of the GDPR and the Law Enforcement Directive as
well as recent jurisprudential developments concerning data privacy
in the EU and its member states. It also addresses relevant recent
case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Court of
Human Rights, and national courts. Featuring research on topics
such as public transparency, medical research data, and automated
decision making, this book is ideally designed for law
practitioners, data scientists, policymakers, IT professionals,
politicians, researchers, analysts, academicians, and students
working in the areas of privacy, data protection, big data,
information technology, and human rights law.

This book explores the legal regime of non-product related process
and production methods (NPR PPMs) in the context of
trade-restrictive environmental measures, eco-labelling
requirements and sanitary measures under the WTO. These issues
serve as concrete, representative examples that raise broader
questions about the legitimacy of the WTO dispute settlement system
and help to explore the true position of WTO members in this
complex legal regime. NPR PPMs are process and production methods
that do not affect the product as such, meaning that there is no
discernible difference in two products with different NPR PPMs.
This work examines WTO states' attempts to regulate in this regard
and create product distinctions on the basis of NPR PPMs. To do so,
it scrutinizes historical, institutional, substantive and case-law
issues related to NPR PPMs, environmental policy and the WTO.
Further, the book addresses the issues of legitimacy, regulatory
space and reform, contributing to the lively debate on the future
of the WTO.
