EU. Competition Law. Data Protection. Regulation. Stuff...

Landmark @facebook decision by a regulator which blurs the boundaries between #competition and #dataprotection law

Thanks @POLITICOEurope for the mention 🙌

The German competition authority ordered that Facebook stop combining users' data — a first major strike at the heart of the company's business model https://t.co/FLb8K4idBG

@lewis_crofts The ambition for 8 books gets full marks. Bring The Bee Sting next time. Great one to rattle through on holiday so you won’t put it down.

Although the UK is no longer in the EU, we continue to work closely together on a basis of trust – bilaterally and within #NATO, the #OSCE, the #UN and the #G7. 🇮🇪 and the 🇬🇧 are close partners and friends. More information and full statement here: https://t.co/0feGky2zRT 2/2

@dkennytcd Very interesting. Didn’t quite follow why Irish arbitration law means the ratification itself is unconstitutional? Is it because it is UNCITRAL based?

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Official Mother Stefania video by KALUSH Orchestra. To all Ukrainian mothers who go through this horrible war.

227 Ukrainian children have already been killed by Russian monsters, many more injured physically and mentally.

Ukraine will prevail. For every child and every mother.

@tysonbarker @NewStatesman Very insightful 👏

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

This is big win for #public access to #justice. Open hearings enable citizens and businesses to make better informed decisions

@EUCourtPress consulted last year - delighted it listened to the many responses, including my own

Next up @CourtsServiceIE

Next level horseplay

@davidmcw Great to see. Casement played an important but less well known role in the Belgian Congo as he prepared the 1905 Casement Report which he was late knighted for, and covered in King Leopold’s Ghost… a true Irish hero

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@VanMoof Congrats @vanmoof when can we look forward to seeing you in Dublin?

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@TSteinvorth Interesting. Is it as brazen as DG Comp “clarifying” Art 22 EUMR interpretation after 20 years ?

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@davidallengreen Up until 2016, I’d have agreed that the UK seemed to do fine without. But, a written constitution that is open to liberal, democratic reform has its advantages which you seem to discount. Interested to know why. We’ve had fun amending ours 30+ times in Ireland since 1937

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@StevePeers Thank you Steve for calling this stuff out

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@dkennytcd Completely agree with this David.

[Darach Connolly @DarachConnolly]

@suzannelynch1 @politico @POLITICOEurope Great news @suzannelynch1 good luck & see you soon
