Legal Text


Article 94 - Repeal of Directive 95/46/EC

1. Directive 95/46/EC is repealed with effect from 25 May 2018.

2. References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this Regulation. References to the Working Party on the Protection of Individuals with regard to the Processing of Personal Data established by Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC shall be construed as references to the European Data Protection Board established by this Regulation.

Relevant Recitals

Recital 171: Repeal of Directive 95/46/EC and Transition Phase
Directive 95/46/EC should be repealed by this Regulation. Processing already under way on the date of application of this Regulation should be brought into conformity with this Regulation within the period of two years after which this Regulation enters into force. Where processing is based on consent pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC, it is not necessary for the data subject to give his or her consent again if the manner in which the consent has been given is in line with the conditions of this Regulation, so as to allow the controller to continue such processing after the date of application of this Regulation. Commission decisions adopted and authorisations by supervisory authorities based on Directive 95/46/EC remain in force until amended, replaced or repealed.

Commentary

Directive 95/46/EC was repealed with effect from 25 May 2018. In order to ensure the continuation of the data protection regulatory system, Article 94 GDPR provides that any reference to Directive 95/46/EC shall be replaced by a reference to the GDPR. The same logic is adopted for references to Working Party 29, which are henceforth to be understood as references to the EDPB. In addition, under Recital 171, all processing of personal data in existence at the time of application of the GDPR will have to be adapted to the new rules.
