Question 2

What is one major goal that the OECD Guidelines, Convention 108 and the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) all had in common but largely failed to achieve in Europe?

    Correct Answer: C

    The OECD Guidelines, Convention 108, and the Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC) aimed to harmonize data protection laws across different jurisdictions to ensure a consistent level of protection and facilitate the free flow of data across borders. However, despite these efforts, significant differences in the implementation and enforcement of data protection laws persisted among European countries, leading to a lack of synchronization. This fragmentation was one of the key reasons for the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which aimed to provide a more uniform and comprehensive data protection framework across the European Union.
