On the 19th January 2011 a Round Table was organised in Tg. - Jiu on "The significance of the European Data Protection Day" by the Legal Science's School within the Constantin Brancusi University in Targu Jiu in collaboration with the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing.
Within the event's opening ceremony, Mrs. Georgeta Basarabescu - president of the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing has highlighted the need to ensure a real and efficient protection of the right to private life by each data controller in the public and private sectors, especially within today's context of increased development of new technologies which entail a series of risks with regard to the use of everyone's personal data.
On this occasion, prof. univ. dr. Moise Bojincã, dean of the Legal Science's School underlined the attention given by the Constantin Brancusi University to the field of personal data protection by including into the university's curricula, at master's level, a specialised course, an expression of the increased public's interest as regards the way in which personal data are processed.
Celebrated by all member states of Council of Europe on the 28th January, the European Data Protection Day constitutes an excellent occasion for increasing awareness with regard to the field of personal data protection and the rights we have in this regard.
The celebration of the European Data Protection Day has been established by the Council of Europe's Committee of Ministers starting with 2007 as on the 28th January 1981 the first legal instrument in the field of personal data protection was adopted: Convention no. 108 on the protection of individuals with regard to the automated processing of personal data.
