Huawei panel looks to data protection and privacy

For Witter, who was one of the experts on the panel at the event, the top issues for Europe arose in the wake of Schrems II, a judgement delivered by the European Court of Justice in July 2020.
The ruling brings into sharper relief the differences between the data protection regime in the European Union, governed by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) in force since May 2018.
