BAS > Communication > News > Margarida Ferreira discusses European legislation and its application in Portugal

At the workshop on GDPR co-organized by BAS and Conceito, the President of the Association of Data Protection and Security Professionals (APDPO), Margarida Ferreira, analyzes the future, but also the past of data protection in our country and how the past helps to understand the present and the future in this area.

According to Margarida Ferreira, Portugal was for years at the vanguard of this topic, having pioneered legislation on the protection of personal data. Recently we see a different situation. The implementation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the GDPR has also posed a number of challenges. Also the proposal of law recently approved by the WG of the 1st Commission of the Portuguese Parliament deserve some comments.

“The European legislation on data protection and privacy and its application in Portugal” is the title of the intervention of the president of the APDPO, in the workshop “GDPR – one year following its Implementation” co-organized by BAS and Conceito, will be held next June 27.
