Report on the Conference on ‘The Hungarian Parliamentary Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information 1995 – 2011’
We are pleased to share a guest post by dr. Ákos Süle – managing partner of Süle Law Firm – who attended the latest conference of the Hungarian Data Protection Commissioner on 28 September 2011.
On 28 September 2011 we again celebrated the international Right to Information Day which is certainly supposed to be a joyful day and event for all data protection enthusiasts. This year however, the big Day was a little bit special since the related conference held by the Hungarian Parliamentary Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (in the following: Commissioner) turned out to be the last one. As some of you already know, the Commissioner and his office will cease to exist as of 31 December 2011 and a new, probably less independent office will try to replace his duties, without the involvement of the current Commissioner, dr. András Jóri.
