Abstract

EU information technology law is built like a multi-storey house: on the ground floor is technology development and on the top floor are regulatory principles and rights; in the middle floor lie standards, which should connect the top with the ground floor. The house is built on the premise that these floors are seamlessly connected, but are they? The multi-storey house was in fact built without staircases, causing a practical disconnect between regulatory principles and technology development. This keynote speech, which draws from the 2023 book ‘Cybersecurity, Privacy and Data Protection in EU law’, will explore why information technology is effaced from EU law in practice, and the implications for cybersecurity, data protection, data markets, identity management, privacy and many other fields. This keynote speech will explore what collaborative approaches may be needed to redesign the EU regulatory architecture.

The New Legislative Framework, originally called ‘New Approach’, is a framework introduced to enable product harmonization in support for the free circulation of goods, and thus instrumental for the development of the Single Market, by providing for common health and safety requirements, mechanisms for market surveillance and conformity assessment. The most recent package was introduced in 2008: https://​single-market-economy.​ec.​europa.​eu/​single-market/​goods/​new-legislative-framework_​en. For a discussion of the New Approach/NLF and the effacement of technology from EU law, see [1], 148–50, 152 and 154. See also Paul Craig and Gráinne de Búrca, EU Law. Text, Cases and Materials. Oxford, Oxford University Press (2020, seventh edition), chapter 7.

Let us take as an example the (negative formulation of the) essence of the right to the protection of personal data discussed in Sect. 1. Neither the law nor courts specify what are the security safeguards that should be included in the legal instrument to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personal data. The practical determination is pegged to the state of the art and standardization, and is therefore it is driven by the market. This mechanism is discussed in-depth in [1], 193, 258–59, 262–69.
