Committee of MEPs back stiffer sanctions for data protection law breaches

Committee of MEPs back stiffer sanctions for data protection law breaches.

How Much??

Data protection authorities would be obliged to at the very least issue a warning to businesses that breach the Regulation for the first time or which have engaged in “non-intentional non-compliance”. In other cases the businesses could be forced to open themselves up to regulator data protection audits, or they could be fined up to €100m or 5% of their annual global turnover for a failure to “comply with the obligations” laid out under the new framework.
