Produced as part of long-standing cooperation between the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the Council of Europe, and in particular its European Court of Human Rights, the Handbook on European Data Protection Law is now available in Arabic.

In line with the main objective of the South Programme V, the translation of this Handbook into Arabic aims to contribute to the progressive enlargement of the common legal space between the two shores of the Mediterranean. It will enable interested parties, particularly legal professionals in southern Mediterranean countries, to deepen their knowledge of human rights relating to the protection of privacy and personal data.

The handbook will also facilitate the introduction of reforms and the adoption of laws on the protection of personal data in the countries of the region.

This initiative have benefited from the support of the joint programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe “"Protecting human rights, rule of law and democracy through shared standards in the Southern Mediterranean" (South Programme V), co-financed by the two organisations and implemented by the Council of Europe.
