answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2015 answer text <p>Negotiations on the proposed General Data Protection Regulation are still continuing and our negotiating position has taken into account the likely impact on Government Departments, NDPBs and agencies. Once the outcome of trilogue negotiations between the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament and the Commission are complete, and the Regulation has been adopted, the liabilities will be further assessed. There will then follow a maximum implementation period of two years. Between now and then, Government departments who will be affected by the Regulation are closely involved in work led by the Department for Culture, Media &amp; Sport to consider the implications of the text as it develops through the negotiating process.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 23/10/2015 12:14:02 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
