Development of guidance for the implementation of ex-post evaluations of legislation, with particular attention to the impact on data protection.

Duration: 01/06/2012 - 31/12/2012 | Funding: Ministry of Finance of the State of Baden-Württemberg

In recent years, the quality of legislation has come under increasing criticism. In the context of the better regulation agenda, measures have been introduced to improve the overall quality of legislation. Impact assessment has been identified as a key tool for optimising legislation and is repeatedly mentioned as a core element of such an approach. In addition, questions about the impact of legislation on data protection, especially in the security sector, have recently emerged as a prominent topic in public and political discourse.

Against this background, the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to develop guidance for the implementation of ex-post evaluations of legislation, with a particular focus on data protection impact assessments.
