The\u00a0Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence<\/a> is pleased to host: \u201cEU Digital Governance: Lessons and Consequences for Canada,\u201d an online business webinar where a panel of experts will examine the EU’s governance of the digital economy and the impact on Canada.<\/p>\n

For many years, the European Union (EU) has been a leader when it comes to governing data and the digital economy. In May 2018, the EU\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation<\/a> (GDPR) entered into force, influencing data protection legislation and regulations around the world, from California to China. Compliance with GDPR provisions by non-EU countries or firms is also crucial if personal data are to flow out of the EU towards those countries or firms. In Canada\u2019s case, it is currently considered \u201cadequate\u201d (i.e., compliant) by the European Commission<\/a>; however experts agree that Canada\u2019s current federal privacy protection framework does not meet GDPR requirements. Canada, therefore, is at risk of losing this privileged position if it does not modernize its privacy protection regime in line with the GDPR.<\/p>\n

The EU is also in the process of adopting two new pieces of legislation to govern what it calls its digital single market, including social media platforms and their content: the Digital Markets Act<\/a> and the Digital Services Act<\/a>. In addition, it has adopted funding programs like the Digital Europe Programme<\/a> to develop the EU\u2019s digital economy. So, what do the EU\u2019s actions regarding the digital economy and its governance mean for Canada? How do (or will) they impact businesses operating in Canada? What lessons should Canada draw from the EU\u2019s efforts for its own policies regarding the digital economy and its governance?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The panel has been organised by the Centre for European Studies<\/a> at Carleton University<\/a>, the Canada-EU Trade and Investment Association<\/a> (CEUTIA), and the CN-Paul M. Tellier Chair on Business and Public Policy<\/a> at the University of Ottawa<\/a>.<\/p>\n
