UK— The European Commission is taking the UK to court in an attempt to force changes to the country’s laws so they comply with European Union rules on the interception of electronic communications.
The action stems from secret trials of online behavioural targeting technology, which occurred in 2006 and 2007 but were only disclosed in 2008. The commission launched infringement proceedings against the UK the following year citing concerns about the way the UK government handled complaints about the tests and how EU laws had been implemented.
According to the commission, UK law falls short of what is required by the ePrivacy Directive and the Data Protection Directive in three areas:
EU rules define consent as a “freely given, specific and informed indication of a person’s wishes”, while sanctions should apply to any unlawful interception, whether intentional or not.
The action has been referred to the European Union Court of Justice.
