His drive for greater European integration often led to clashes with Margaret Thatcher.

After a gruelling trilogue process that featured two marathon negotiating sessions, the European Union finally came to a political agreement 8 December on what will be the world's first comprehensive regulation of artificial intelligence. The EU AI Act will be a risk-based, horizontal regulation with far-reaching provisions for companies and organizations using, designing or deploying AI systems. Though the so-called trilogue process is a fairly opaque one, where the European Parliament, European Commision and Council of the EU negotiate behind closed doors, journalist Luca Bertuzzi has acted as a window into the process through his persistent reporting for Euractiv. IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy caught up with Bertuzzi to discuss the negotiations and what comes next in the process.

The president of the European Commision, Ursula Von Der Leyen, has vowed to create a more “geopolitical commission”, ramping up Europe's external involvement and staking out an increasingly prominent place on the world stage. Though it has at times struggled to forge a united policy, the EU should not be underestimated: as the world's third largest economy, the bloc has numerous tools at its disposal with which to exert its influence. Indeed, the EU already plays a key role in preventing conflicts around the world and improving prospects for peace. This week on War & Peace, Olya Oliker and Hugh Pope are joined by Hilde Hardeman, the director general for EU Publications and former head of the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments. They take stock of the challenges and opportunities facing Europe as geopolitical tensions at its borders reach boiling point and discuss how the EU's foreign policy toolkit has evolved over time. They also talk about the EU's conflict prevention strategies, its drive to put “green diplomacy” at the centre of its foreign policy, and Hilde's commitment to combatting disinformation around the world.

Slack claims Microsoft is being anti-competitiveThere’s a lawsuit focused on the inclusion of Teams for free with an Office 356 subscription. Slack wants to see it be operated as a separate product, with a fair market price tag. Slack says it currently cannot compete with a free product as it's hard to convince enterprises to pay extra for similar features. It's deep Office integrations don't help either. Slack claims Microsoft cannot legally tie a new independent product to its already dominant product. Mirosoft says that Slack doesn't have the video conferencing features that Teams has. The European Commision hasn't said if they'll investigate yet.Your smartphone will soon last you longerYou might have heard of "Gorilla Glass" - it's been the standard on touch screen phones for years now but it's getting an upgrade: Gorilla Glass Victus. The new glass formula will be able to better resist coin and key scratches, drops of almost 2 metres and multiple drops without breaking. Samsung phones are going to be the first to get this new version of glass, but they also supply Apple so it's fair to assume they too will be getting this new glass sometime.Twitter is looking at subscriptionsAd revenue has taken a big hit, so the company says they're investigating non-advertising revenue streams including subscriptions. They could be ad-free offerings, charging for more 'pro' features and more.LISTEN ABOVE

Named after the city in New Zealand where 51 people were killed by a gunman who streamed the act via Facebook, The Christchurch Appeal has the backing of 17 countries as well as the European Commision. KCBS Radio’s Technology Analyst Larry Magid speaks on what the goal of this appeal is.

China, Donald Trump, and discontent after financial and debt crises that exploded last decade are buffeting trade. The European Union frequently finds itself at the center of these storms. Arancha Gonzalez, the chief of staff to Pascal Lamy when he led the World Trade Organization and a former trade spokesperson at the European Commision, makes a spirited defence of the benefits of trade. Gonzalez even sees trade recovering its lustre as greater numbers of "conscious consumers" demand higher environmental and labor standards. Reinhard Bütikofer, a member of the European Parliament and a major figure in the German Green Party, is more equivocal about the outlook. Bütikofer suggests that the most immediate threat to a multilateral future isn’t so much from Europe's homegrown nationalist populists but from the United States. He fully expects Donald Trump to go ahead and slap tariffs on Europe's car industry in defiance of Brussels and Berlin. Lorenzo Marsili has more fundamental problems with the trading system. Marsili helped to start the leftist DiEM25 political movement with Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister who hectored Germany to reform the Eurozone. Marsili reimagines how the vast trade deal between Europe and Canada agreed two years ago would have been negotiated under the kind of leadership that DiEM25 is calling for.

Part 1 in the GDPR mini series: a primerWhether you're in Europe or not: the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will have a great impact on businesses everywhere. Because even if you're outside of Europe, when you find yourself handling personal data of a European citizen (even if you're based outside the EU), you have to comply with the strict GDPR rules. GDPR?The General Data Protection Regulation is a very strict privacy protocol installed by the European Commision, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. It will prohibit companies from asking for data they don’t need, and from storing and using private data in a non-compliant way. The fines for non-compliance are substantial. Even if you’re not in Europe, you could theoretically get a penalty for not complying. But even if you don't, not playing by the rules will cost you your European B2B customers. Is the end of data harvesting near? And what does this mean for content and UX? That's what we discuss in this month's podcast.COOKIE CONSENT WAS JUST A TASTER, GET READY FOR THE MAIN COURSE.   EXTRA BACKGROUND ON THE GDPRTHE 6 principles of privacyLawfulness, fairness and transparency Private data should only be used by organisations in a lawful and fair way. It should be crystal clear to the user how their personal data will be processed. Purpose limitationsOrganisations are only allowed to use the consensually obtained data for the goals they communicated at the time of the transaction. They can no longer take a database and use it for purposes other or unrelated to what was communicated to the user.Data minimisationOrganisations can only ask for the information that is essential for their service. Profiling or marketing are (most of the time) not essential for servicing the client.AccuracyInformation has to be straightforwardly interpreted and not out of date. It should be rectifiable by the user. Storage limitationsPersonal data can only be stored for a few years, and only in a secure file or document, on a secure server that is physically in Europe. Integrity and confidentialityPrivate data should be stored and processed in a way that the data is protected from loss, destruction or damage.Consent is king, transparency is queen The magic word in the new GDPR regulations is ‘consent’. As an organisation, you need to get consent of the user, or 'data subject' in GDPR terms, that is...Informed: they need to know what they’re consenting to.Freely given: you can’t force someone to give their data to use your service.Specific: they are only agreeing to what you are specifically saying they are agreeing to.Unambiguous: just like in other cases where you need consent: consent is a clear yes, not the absence of a no.Privacy by design and Privacy by defaultPrivacy by Design is about the whole engeneering process of a service. It takes privacy into account at every step. We also describe this as value sensitive design, in which human values are taken into account, in a well-defined maner throughout the whole process. Privacy by Default: all the privacy settings are set to optimal privacy. You will be asked for consent when prompted for personal details. Also, only the bare minimum will be asked for. Privacy by Default can be seen as a subset of Privacy by design.Meet our 5 experts Aral Balkan - Ind.ie Aral Balkan is a cyborg rights activist, one third of ethical software company Ind.ie and part of the DiEM initiative.

Katryna Dow - Meeco I met Katryna Dow at a professional event on data. Personal data is at the core of what Katryna's company Meeco does. I’m curious to learn how the GDPR will affect her business. Seppe Van Steelant - City of Ghent Government is one example of organisations that own loads of private data. Seppe Van Steelant is the Data Protection Officer (DPO) at the City of Ghent.  Bart Van den Brande - Sirius Legal With only one year to go until GDPR goes into full effect, this seems like a good time to lawyer up!
