  Personal data protection is about people. It is a fundamental right. The new rules give people more control over their personal data. They are designed to ensure that personal information is protected, no matter where it is sent, processed or stored. The reform places the emphasis on accountability. This means that it is now the responsibility of your institution to comply with data protection rules and to be able to demonstrate this compliance. It follows that data protection is now everybody’s business, independent of your place in the EU hierarchy.

  The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to all businesses and organisations operating in the EU. It sets the standard for data protection worldwide, by ensuring the protection of personal data in the digital world. New data protection rules for the EU institutions have also been introduced, to ensure that the standard of data protection within the EU institutions and bodies is in line with the standard of data protection provided for in the GDPR. These rules reflect the same values, providing EU citizens with the reassurance that they can enjoy the same strengthened rights when dealing with the EU institutions as they do when dealing with other companies, organisations or public bodies under the GDPR.

  This study commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the AFCO Committee discusses the parliamentary nature of the Council. It analyses how the Council is in between a pure parliamentary institution and a non-parliamentary one from a wide range of perspectives, for example its structure, procedure and transparency. The study recommends incremental reforms towards further parliamentarisation rather than radical ones.

  Societal change and trust in institutions

  As data from the European Quality of Life Surveys and Eurobarometer show, the sharp decline in trust in institutions was a temporary phenomenon during the recession. In some Member States, trust in the EU declined more during this period than trust in national governments, but trust in the EU has generally remained higher than trust in national governments in most countries. The report shows that moderating social tensions and feelings of social exclusion can help to stem the decline in trust. However, to boost trust in institutions, improving the quality of public services is the most powerful driver. A number of encouraging and practical consequences result from trust in public institutions: for example, countries with higher trust in political institutions have a lower level of tax evasion (VAT gap) and greater public support for policy reforms.
