Legislative proposal to protect trade secrets: update

Short Reads - On 5 July 2016, the EU Trade Secrets Directive came into effect (Directive 2016/943/EU). The directive intends to harmonise rules regarding the protection of undisclosed know-how and business information (trade secrets) across all EU member states. As the directive is not directly applicable in the member states, each member state must enact national implementing legislation.

Het beginsel van gelijke kansen geldt ook bij de verdeling van schaarse subsidiemiddelen

Short Reads - Bij de verdeling van schaarse subsidiemiddelen door het bestuur moet op enigerlei wijze aan (potentiële) gegadigden ruimte moet worden geboden om naar de beschikbare middelen mee te dingen. Deze toepassing van het gelijkheidsbeginsel gaat zo ver dat onder omstandigheden het rechtszekerheidsbeginsel ervoor moet wijken. Dit blijkt uit een uitspraak van de Afdeling bestuursrechtspraak van de Raad van State van 11 juli 2018 (ECLI:NL:RVS:2018:2310).

General Data Protection Regulation comes into effect

Short Reads - On 25 May 2018, the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. The GDPR replaces the EU's prior directive governing the processing and transfer of personal data, which was in place since 1995. As a regulation, the GDPR is directly applicable in all 28 EU member states and thus removes the need for national implementing legislation. However, the GDPR allows member states discretion in certain areas, as a result of which national legislation may still be implemented. In the Netherlands, the GDPR Implementation Act came into effect on 25 May 2018.
