Tbilisi. IRC, GYLA, EMC and RIVG call on the Parliament of Georgia to resume revision of the bill on Personal Data Protection and ensure its timely adoption.
"We consider that despite certain shortcomings and controversial issues, adoption of the bill will significantly improve the status of personal data protection and bring Georgian legal framework closer to the new European regulation (GDPR), while the current law is outdated and fails to meet existing challenges. At the same time, we think that relevant committees should carefully review those comments and suggestions that civil society organizations have provided in regard to the bill and ensure refinement/perfection of the bill prior to voting at the plenary session”, - is noted in the statement.
