Dear Colleagues, we were very pleased to have hosted the 30th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in Strasbourg. We believe that we have made the right choice concerning the venue at the Council of Europe as a highly symbolic location of 20th century history.
We registered some 570 participants from 60 countries from all over the world covering various sectors of life. We brought many burning issues to the fore and hope that those of you who attended found these discussions interesting and valuable. We all noted how necessary mutual trust is if we want to develop common and appropriate solutions for business and individuals making sure that data protection and privacy rights are duly taken into account.
We are happy to inform you that for the first time, the complete public conference including the opening speeches of the 15.10.2008, the introductory speeches of the moderators, all individual oral presentations and panel debates, are available in the form of archived videos on the conference website in the original language. The 7 resolutions adopted at the closed session have been uploaded on the conference website. They are available in English, French, German and Spanish.
