A Day with the French Data Protection Authority, the CNIL
June 17, 2013 | Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from one of Europe's top regulatory authorities on data
protection! The Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), France’s Data Protection Authority, is an independent administrative authority. Its main role is to protect personal data. To do so, the CNIL has the power to issue warnings, and even to fine data
controllers not complying with data protection laws. Florence Raynal, who is the Head of the
Department of European and International Affairs at the CNIL, will present to us of the work of the
CNIL. We will learn about the role the CNIL plays, not only on a-day-to-day basis, but also in the international scene, and how it weighs in on the current privacy debates, such as the reform of the data protection framework of the European Union. The program will be held via teleconference. During the program, you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speaker. You may submit your questions in advance to Marie-Andrée Weiss
at marie-andree@maw-law.com, or you will be able to ask them during the Q&A session at the
end of our program.
