Nationale Spielräume im Datenschutzrecht

The General Data Protection Regulation aims to harmonize data protection law in the European Union. At the same time, it contains opening clauses that attribute national legislators margins of regulation to allow diversity in certain areas. This applies to the media and churches as well as to criminal law and labor law. The volume describes the European legal framework for the use of these opening clauses and the constitutional requirements in Poland and Germany. Even the constitutional situation shows considerable normative differences. The opening clauses are comparatively examined to see how they are understood and then applied. The Polish and German authors elaborate expected differences, but also surprising similarities. In this way, a minimum standard of data protection law becomes clear, which is effective in both countries and can be the starting point for the development of common European standards.
