The General Data Protection Regulation as a model of recent European digital draft legislation

Abstract

This paper explains the impact of the General Data Protection Regulation on the subsequent proposals of the European Commission in the framework of the digital single market. It studies its influence on the e-privacy Regulation, the Regulation on European production and preservation orders for electronic evidence, the Regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online, the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act and the Artificial Intelligence Act. Specifically, attention is paid to the mechanisms that seek to improve the application of these rules to intermediaries located outside the European Union, such as their extraterritorial application or the obligation to appoint a representative within it.
