An international conference on "Enhancing the Right to Data Protection in Eastern Partnership Countries" is to be held in Tbilisi on 14-15 December. The event brings together representatives from Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova to enhance the right to data protection.
The conference initiated by the Programmatic Cooperation Framework will present the latest advances in international and European standards, and will highlight the role of data protection authorities with regard to the protection of persons, identifying the needs of each delegation from Eastern Partnership countries. The conference will also encourage cohesion within the international network, ensuring the effective implementation of the planned actions.
The EU-Council of Europe Programmatic Co-operation Framework (PCF) aims to provide extensive and substantial expertise on strengthening the capacity of institutions in the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) to implement domestic reforms. It also aims to bring the countries closer to Council of Europe and EU standards in the fields of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and improve the lives of citizens. The EU’s contribution to the PCF is EUR 30 million.
