Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, which entail the right to protection of personal data. Other than those provisions, the European framework for Data Protection also includes: • General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 • Law Enforcement Directive 2016/680 • Case law

The Charter of Fundamental Rights was formally proclaimed in Nice in December 2000 by the European Parliament, Council and Commission and on 1 December 2009, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the Charter was given binding legal effect equal to the Treaties. The Charter entrenches all the rights found in the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU; the rights and freedoms enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights; other rights and principles resulting from the common, constitutional traditions of EU countries and other international instruments. It creates legal certainty in the EU, by making fundamental rights clearer and more visible.
