In late February, Isabelle
Falque-Pierrotin was elected to serve as the new chairwoman of the European
Union's Article 29 Working Party, a group that plays an advisory
role on data protection issues to both the European Commission and to the E.U.
member states.
Falque-Pierrotin will face two major challenges in
her new role: transitioning the E.U. to a new data protection regulation
that likely will be implemented in the coming months and promoting
international cooperation between data protection authorities.
In
addition to serving a two year term as head of the Working Party, Falque-Pierrotin will continue to serve as the Chairwoman of the French Data
Protection Authority (CNIL), a post she has held since 2011.
Earlier this
year the CNIL handed down its highest financial penalty ever when it
sanctioned Google 150,000 euros for violating several provisions of the French
Data Protection Act.
