Privacy has come under pressure in Europe in recent years. More and more surveillance and an increase in electronic registration of personal information, means a heightened risk of misuse and to a certain extent the possibility of profiling citizens. However the privacy challenge can be dealt with by making use of modern technology and by complying with a strict interpretation of the European law in the field. The recent development and a number of proposed solutions will be the main themes in the European Privacy Conference being held in Copenhagen the 23 – 24 September.
