24.05.2019 EU law One year of GDPR - The regulatory warm-up Short Reads - The first year of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") is over. Although early noises predicted an entirely new data protection regime, the European legal framework did not change substantially, the major changes being an expansion of the territorial scope to non-EU countries and stronger powers of enforcement. In spite of fears and rumours of immediate enforcement and huge fines, most regulators focused on helping companies achieve compliance, or they enforced without directly imposing fines.

And it is not surprising why: according to a recent study, of the 8.3 billion metric tons of plastics that have been produced so far, 6.3 billion metric tons has become plastic waste.

23.05.2018 Onafwendbaar Europees verbod op aantal pesticiden op basis van neonicotinoïden: wat doet België? Articles - Sommige pesticiden op basis van neonicotinoïden blijken ware “bijenkillers” te zijn. Dit werd recentelijk opnieuw bevestigd door het EFSA. Een Europees verbod lijkt dan ook onafwendbaar.

België onthield zich en wenst een uitzonderingsregeling te bekomen voor de bieten- en koolzaadsector. België lijkt dus te zullen moeten kiezen tussen bijen of bieten… of is het toch allemaal niet zo zwart-wit? Read more Team: Jan Bouckaert, Pieter Vandenheede, Bastiaan Schelstraete
