"I voted in favour of these new rules on data protection. Privacy is a human right enshrined in Article[nbsp ]8 of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. Reform of the personal data protection rules is necessary to ensure that privacy rights are protected by robust rules which meet the realities of this digital age. I welcome this reportʼs achievement of a balanced approach. Rather than creating unnecessary red tape, a compromise was reached allowing legitimate use of data for innovation and research while protecting privacy rights through tough sanctions against rule breakers. The sanctions proposed by Parliament are tougher, and therefore act as a better deterrent, than those favoured by the Commission. MEPs approved fines of up to EUR[nbsp ]100 million or 5[nbsp ]% of annual worldwide turnover (whichever is greater). It is fitting that, on the same day as this House votes on a resolution on the impact on EU citizensʼ rights of surveillance conducted by a foreign intelligence service, MEPs altered the proposed rules to ensure that firms disclosing an EU citizenʼs personal data to a third country must first receive the consent of the relevant national data protection authority in the EU."@en1
