The Basic Law at 60 - Equality and Difference: A Proposal for the Guest List to the Birthday Party By Susanne Baer A. Introduction This birthday gives rise to many considerations. Some reflect upon achievements - the German constitution, named "Basic Law", has proven to work although many did not believe in it when it was framed. Others emphasize desiderata. Sabine Berghahn commented at the 50th birthday that it has developed "far too slowly and [some] has even gone completely wrong." ' Jutta Limbach, former President of the Federal Constitutional Court, observed that constitutional history was "anything but regal, but very difficult and full of obstacles.

Lee A. Bygrave Transworld is supported by the SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME Transatlantic Tensions on Data Privacy Lee A. Bygrave* United States European Union Data privacy Regulatory policy Introduction This paper focuses on US and European regulatory policies in the field of data privacy. These policies concern, at bottom, information processing and the infrastructure for such processing. Protection of human rights plays a key role in the field. Rules on data privacy specifically govern the processing of data relating to persons (i.e., personal data) in order to protect, at least partly, the privacy and related interests of those persons. In Europe, such norms tend to be described as “data protection”. Outside Europe, including the USA, they are often described in terms of protecting “privacy” or “information privacy” (Bygrave 2010:166). As elaborated further below, significant elements of these norms are formally grounded in human rights, particularly the right to privacy. Thus, human rights and accompanying doctrine provide a central normative basis for data privacy law, while much of the latter can be seen as both an expression and specialised branch of the former.

Legal rules, industry norms, and business practices collectively form these standards. Financially, the standards for the control of flows of personal information have a large economic impact Businesses rely on personal information for activities ranging from back- office personnel management to product sales. Standards allocate both economic benefits and burdens.
