The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (GDPR) is a European Union law which entered into force in 2016 and, following a two year transition period, became directly applicable law in all Member States of the European Union on 25 May 2018, without requiring implementation by the EU Member States through national law.
A 'Regulation' (unlike the Directive which it replaced) is directly applicable and has consistent effect in all Member States. However, there remain more than 50 areas covered by GDPR where Member States are permitted to legislate differently in their own domestic data protection laws, and there continues to be room for different interpretation and enforcement practices among the Member States.
Territorial Scope
Primarily, the application of the GDPR turns on whether an organization is established in the EU. An 'establishment' may take a wide variety of forms, and is not necessarily a legal entity registered in an EU Member State.
However, the GDPR also has extra-territorial effect. An organization that it is not established within the EU will still be subject to the GDPR if it processes personal data of data subjects who are in the Union where the processing activities are related "to the offering of goods or services" (Article 3(2)(a)) (no payment is required) to such data subjects in the EU or "the monitoring of their behaviour" (Article 3(2)(b)) as far as their behaviour takes place within the EU.
Irish data protection law underwent a significant overhaul with the introduction of the Data Protection Act 2018 (the 'Act'). The Act implements Directive (EU) 2016/680 (the 'Directive') and gives further effect to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation or the 'GDPR') in the areas in which Member State flexibility is permitted. The Act largely repeals the current Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (the 'DPA') except for the purposes of national security, defence and the international relations of the state.
For contexts falling under the GDPR, the Act may be cited as the Data Protection Act 2018. For contexts involving the security, defence and international relations of the State, the Act and DPA may be cited together as the Data Protection Acts 1988 to 2018.

"Personal data" is defined as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person" (Article 4). A low bar is set for "identifiable" – if the natural person can be identified using "all means reasonably likely to be used" (Recital 26) the information is personal data. A name is not necessary either – any identifier will do, such as an identification number, phone number, location data or other factors which may identify that natural person.
Online identifiers are expressly called out in Recital 30, with IP addresses, cookies and RFID tags all listed as examples.
The GDPR creates more restrictive rules for the processing of "special categories" (Article 9) of personal data (including data relating to race, religion, sexual life, data pertaining to health, genetics and biometrics) and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences (Article 10).
The GDPR is concerned with the "processing" of personal data. Processing has an extremely wide meaning, and includes any set of operations performed on data, including the mere storage, hosting, consultation or deletion of the data.
Personal data may be processed by either a "controller" or a "processor". The controller is the decision maker, the person who "alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data" (Article 4). The processor "processes personal data on behalf of the controller", acting on the instructions of the controller. In contrast to the previous law, the GDPR imposes direct obligations on both the controller and the processor, although fewer obligations are imposed on the processor.
The "data subject" is a living, natural person whose personal data are processed by either a controller or a processor.
The definitions contained within the Act are identical to those in the GDPR.
Enforcement of the GDPR is the prerogative of data protection regulators, known as supervisory authorities (for example, the Cnil in France or the ICO in the UK). The European Data Protection Board (the replacement for the so-called Article 29 Working Party) is comprised of delegates from the supervisory authorities, and monitors the application of the GDPR across the EU, issuing guidelines to encourage consistent interpretation of the Regulation.
The GDPR creates the concept of "lead supervisory authority". Where there is cross-border processing of personal data (i.e. processing taking place in establishments of a controller or processor in multiple Member States, or taking place in a single establishment of a controller or processor but affecting data subjects in multiple Member States), then the starting point for enforcement is that controllers and processors are regulated by and answer to the supervisory authority for their main or single establishment, the so-called "lead supervisory authority" (Article 56(1)).
However, the lead supervisory authority is required to cooperate with all other "concerned" authorities, and a supervisory authority in another Member State may enforce where infringements occur on its territory or substantially affect data subjects only in its territory (Article 56(2)).
The concept of lead supervisory authority is therefore of somewhat limited help to multinationals.
Section 10 of the Act establishes a body known as An Coimisinéir Cosanta Sonraí (or the Data Protection Commission) (the 'Commission') and transfers the functions of the current Data Protection Commissioner to the Commission. The Commission will consist of between one and three members, the number of which shall be determined by the Government. These members will be known as Commissioners. In the event that there is more than one Commissioner, one Commissioner will be appointed as a Chairperson. The Chairperson will have the casting vote in the event of a tie.
The contact details of the Data Protection Commission (or An Coimisinéir Cosanta Sonraí) are as follows:
Dublin Office:
21 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2, D02 RD28, Ireland
Regional Office:
Canal House, Station Road, Portarlington, R32 AP23 Co. Laois
Telephone: +353 57 868 4800 or +353 761 104 800
Website: www.dataprotection.ie
There are no EU-wide systems of registration or notification and Recital 89 of the GDPR seeks to prohibit indiscriminate general notification obligations. However, Member States may impose notification obligations for specific activities (e.g. processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences). The requirement to consult the supervisory authority in certain cases following a data protection impact assessment (Article 36) constitutes a notification requirement. In addition, each controller or processor must communicate the details of its data protection officer (where it is required to appoint one) to its supervisory authority (Article 37(7)).
In many ways, external accountability to supervisory authorities via registration or notification is superseded in the GDPR by rigorous demands for internal accountability. In particular, controllers and processors are required to complete and maintain comprehensive records of their data processing activities (Article 30), which must contain specific details about personal data processing carried out within an organisation and must be provided to supervisory authorities on request. This is a sizeable operational undertaking.
Under the DPA, certain categories of data controller or data processor were required to register with the Data Protection Commissioner, except in a limited number of circumstances. This requirement no longer exists. Therefore a data controller or processor does not have to inform the Commission of their role and does not have to be entered onto a register.
Each controller or processor is required to appoint a data protection officer if it satisfies one or more of the following tests:
- it is a public authority;
- its core activities consist of processing operations which, by virtue of their nature, scope or purposes, require regular and systemic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or
- its core activities consist of processing sensitive personal data on a large scale.
Groups of undertakings are permitted to appoint a single data protection officer with responsibility for multiple legal entities (Article 37(2)), provided that the data protection officer is easily accessible from each establishment (meaning that larger corporate groups may find it difficult in practice to operate with a single data protection officer).
DPOs must have "expert knowledge" (Article 37(5)) of data protection law and practices, though it is possible to outsource the DPO role to a service provider (Article 37(6)).
Controllers and processors are required to ensure that the DPO is involved "properly and in a timely manner in all issues which relate to the protection of personal data" (Article 38(1)), and the DPO must directly report to the highest management level, must not be told what to do in the exercise of his or her tasks and must not be dismissed or penalised for performing those tasks (Article 38(3)).
The specific tasks of the DPO, set out in GDPR, include (Article 39):
- to inform and advise on compliance with GDPR and other Union and Member State data protection laws;
- to monitor compliance with the law and with the internal policies of the organization including assigning responsibilities, awareness raising and training staff;
- to advise and monitor data protection impact assessments where requested; and
- to cooperate and act as point of contact with the supervisory authority.
This is a good example of an area of the GDPR where Member State gold plating laws are likely. For example, German domestic law has set the bar for the appointment of DPOs considerably lower than that set out in the GDPR.
Section 34 of the Act enables the Minister, following consultation with such other Minister of the Government as he or she considers appropriate and the Commission, to make regulations requiring controllers, processors, or associations or other bodies representing categories of controllers or processors to designate a data protection officer.
Data Protection Principles
Controllers are responsible for compliance with a set of core principles which apply to all processing of personal data. Under these principles, personal data must be (Article 5):
- processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner (the "lawfulness, fairness and transparency principle");
- collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes (the "purpose limitation principle");
- adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose(s) (the "data minimization principle");
- accurate and where necessary kept up to date (the "accuracy principle");
- kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purpose(s) for which the data are processed (the "storage limitation principle"); and
- processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, using appropriate technical and organizational measures (the "integrity and confidentiality principle").
The controller is responsible for and must be able to demonstrate compliance with the above principles (the "accountability principle"). Accountability is a core theme of the GDPR. Organisations must not only comply with the GDPR but also be able to demonstrate compliance perhaps years after a particular decision relating to processing personal data was taken. Record keeping, audit and appropriate governance will all form a key role in achieving accountability.
Legal Basis under Article 6
In addition, in order to satisfy the lawfulness principle, each use of personal data must be justified by reference to an appropriate basis for processing. The legal bases (also known lawful bases or lawful grounds) under which personal data may be processed are (Article 6(1)):
- with the consent of the data subject (where consent must be "freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous", and must be capable of being withdrawn at any time);
- where necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
- where necessary to comply with a legal obligation (of the EU) to which the controller is subject;
- where necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another person (generally recognised as being limited to 'life or death' scenarios, such as medical emergencies);
- where necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or
- where necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party (which is subject to a balancing test, in which the interests of the controller must not override the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Note also that this basis cannot be relied upon by a public authority in the performance of its tasks).
Special Category Data
Processing of special category data is prohibited (Article 9), except where one of the following exemptions applies (which, in effect, operate as secondary bases which must be established for the lawful processing of special category data, in addition to an Article 6 basis):
- with the explicit consent of the data subject;
- where necessary for the purposes of carrying out obligations and exercising rights under employment, social security and social protection law or a collective agreement;
- where necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person who is physically or legally incapable of giving consent;
- in limited circumstances by certain not-for-profit bodies;
- where processing relates to the personal data which are manifestly made public by the data subject;
- where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or where courts are acting in their legal capacity;
- where necessary for reasons of substantial public interest on the basis of Union or Member State law, proportionate to the aim pursued and with appropriate safeguards;
- where necessary for preventative or occupational medicine, for assessing the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, provision of health or social care or treatment of the management of health or social care systems and services;
- where necessary for reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting against serious cross-border threats to health or ensuring high standards of health care and of medical products and devices; or
- where necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with restrictions set out in Article 89(1).
Member States are permitted to introduce domestic laws including further conditions and limitations for processing with regard to processing genetic data, biometric data and health data.
Criminal Convictions and Offences data
Processing of personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences is prohibited unless carried out under the control of an official public authority, or specifically authorised by Member State domestic law (Article 10).
Processing for a Secondary Purpose
Increasingly, organisations wish to 're-purpose' personal data - i.e. use data collected for one purpose for a new purpose which was not disclosed to the data subject at the time the data were first collected. This is potentially in conflict with the core principle of purpose limitation; to ensure that the rights of data subjects are protected. The GDPR sets out a series of factors that the controller must consider to ascertain whether the new process is compatible with the purposes for which the personal data were initially collected (Article 6(4)). These include:
- any link between the original purpose and the new purpose
- the context in which the data have been collected
- the nature of the personal data, in particular whether special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions are processed (with the inference being that if they are it will be much harder to form the view that a new purpose is compatible)
- the possible consequences of the new processing for the data subjects
- the existence of appropriate safeguards, which may include encryption or pseudonymisation.
If the controller concludes that the new purpose is incompatible with the original purpose, then the only bases to justify the new purpose are consent or a legal obligation (more specifically an EU or Member State law which constitutes a necessary and proportionate measure in a democratic society).
Transparency (Privacy Notices)
The GDPR places considerable emphasis on transparency, i.e. the right for a data subject to understand how and why his or her data are used, and what other rights are available to data subjects to control processing. The presentation of granular, yet easily accessible, privacy notices should, therefore, be seen as a cornerstone of GDPR compliance.
Various information must be provided by controllers to data subjects in a concise, transparent and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language (Article 12(1)).
The following information must be provided (Article 13) at the time the data are obtained:
- the identity and contact details of the controller;
- the data protection officer's contact details (if there is one);
- both the purpose for which data will be processed and the legal basis for processing, including, if relevant, the legitimate interests for processing;
- the recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data;
- details of international transfers;
- the period for which personal data will be stored or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine this;
- the existence of rights of the data subject including the right to access, rectify, require erasure, restrict processing, object to processing and data portability;
- where applicable, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to complain to supervisory authorities;
- the consequences of failing to provide data necessary to enter into a contract;
- the existence of any automated decision making and profiling and the consequences for the data subject; and
- in addition, where a controller wishes to process existing data for a new purpose, they must inform data subjects of that further processing, providing the above information.
Somewhat different requirements apply (Article 14) where information has not been obtained from the data subject.
Rights of the Data Subject
Data subjects enjoy a range of rights to control the processing of their personal data, some of which are very broadly applicable, whilst others only apply in quite limited circumstances. Controllers must provide information on action taken in response to requests within one calendar month as a default, with a limited right for the controller to extend this period thereby a further two months where the request is onerous.
Right of access (Article 15)
A data subject is entitled to request access to and obtain a copy of his or her personal data, together with prescribed information about the how the data have been used by the controller.
Right to rectify (Article 16)
Data subjects may require inaccurate or incomplete personal data to be corrected or completed without undue delay.
Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') (Article 17)
Data subjects may request erasure of their personal data. The forerunner of this right made headlines in 2014 when Europe's highest court ruled against Google (Judgment of the CJEU in Case C-131/12), in effect requiring Google to remove search results relating to historic proceedings against a Spanish national for an unpaid debt on the basis that Google as a data controller of the search results had no legal basis to process that information.
The right is not absolute; it only arises in quite a narrow set of circumstances, notably where the controller no longer needs the data for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise lawfully processed, or as a corollary of the successful exercise of the objection right, or of the withdrawal of consent.
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18)
Data subjects enjoy a right to restrict processing of their personal data in defined circumstances. These include where the accuracy of the data is contested; where the processing is unlawful; where the data are no longer needed save for legal claims of the data subject, or where the legitimate grounds for processing by the controller are contested.
Right to data portability (Article 20)
Where the processing of personal data is justified either on the basis that the data subject has given his or her consent to processing or where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, then the data subject has the right to receive or have transmitted to another controller all personal data concerning him or her in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (e.g. commonly used file formats recognised by mainstream software applications, such as .xsl).
Right to object (Article 21)
Data subjects have the right to object to processing on the legal basis of the legitimate interests of the data controller or where processing is in the public interest. Controllers will then have to suspend processing of the data until such time as they demonstrate "compelling legitimate grounds" for processing which override the rights of the data subject.
In addition, data subjects enjoy an unconditional right to object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.
The right not to be subject to automated decision making, including profiling (Article 22)
Automated decision making (including profiling) "which produces legal effects concerning [the data subject] … or similarly significantly affects him or her" is only permitted where:
- necessary for entering into or performing a contract;
- authorised by EU or Member State law; or
- the data subject has given their explicit (i.e. opt-in) consent.
Further, where significant automated decisions are taken on the basis of grounds (a) or (c), the data subject has the right to obtain human intervention, to contest the decision, and to express his or her point of view.
In accordance with the scope given to Member States under the GDPR, the Act permits exceptions to the prohibition on processing personal data and special categories of personal data for purposes other than for which they were collected. These further purposes include processing where necessary: to prevent a threat to national security, defence, or public security; to prevent, detect, investigate, or prosecute criminal offences; and for exercising or performing any right or obligation under employment or social welfare law. The Act also specifies the lawfulness of processing for select purposes including: establishing, exercising or defending legal rights; limited processing of political data in the course of electoral activities in the State; the administration of justice; insurance and pension purposes; preventative and occupational medicine; public health; archiving purposes; and, in certain circumstances, personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences. Under the Act, the digital age of consent in Ireland has been set at age 16 years.
The Act sets out examples of 'suitable and specific measures' that may be taken as appropriate to safeguard the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects when processing the personal data of data subjects. These measures are already either explicitly or implicitly contained in the GDPR:
- explicit consent
- limitations on access to the personal data undergoing processing within a workplace
- strict time limits for the erasure of personal data and mechanisms to ensure that such limits are observed
- specific targeted training for those involved in processing operations
- having regard to the state of the art, the context, nature, scope and purposes of data processing and the likelihood of risk to, and the severity of any risk to, the rights and freedoms of data subjects:
- logging mechanisms to permit verification of whether and by whom the personal data have been consulted, altered, disclosed or erased
- in cases in which it is not mandatory under the Data Protection Regulation, designation of a data protection officer
- where the processing involves data relating to the health of a data subject, a requirement that the processing is undertaken by a health care practitioner, or a person who in the circumstances owes a duty of confidentiality to the data subject that is equivalent to that which would exist if that person were a health practitioner
- pseudonymisation of the personal data, and
- encryption of the personal data
The Act also sets out that special categories of personal data, identical to those in the GDPR, may be processed subject to the suitable and specific measures outlined above for select purposes, including: to prevent treats to national security, defence or public security; to prevent, detect, investigate or prosecute criminal offences; employment and social welfare law; legal advice and legal proceedings; electoral activities and functions of the Referendum Commission; administration of justice and performance of conferred functions; for insurance and pension purposes; for reasons of substantial public interest; for purposes of Article 9(2)(h) GDPR; for public interest in the area of public health; and for archiving in the public interest, scientific or historical research or statistical purposes.
The Data Protection Act 2018 (Section 36(2)) (Health Research) Regulations 2018 came into effect in August 2018 and will have a significant impact on the processing of personal data in Ireland for the purposes of health research, which is defined as "scientific research for the purpose of human health". Most notably, the Regulations provide that when processing personal data for the purposes of health research, the explicit consent of the data subject must be obtained, except in limited circumstances where a declaration that such consent is not required is made by a committee established under the Regulations. Where a controller is procesing personal data for health research purposes, it must ensure certain specified "suitable and specific measures are taken to safeguard the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject". These overlap with, and in some cases go beyond, what is explicitly required under the GDPR and the Act and include:
- having arrangements in place so that personal data will not be processed in a way that causes, or is likely to cause, damage or distress; and
- having appropriate governance structures and processes and procedures in place for carrying out the health research.
The Data Protection (Amendment) Bill 2018, introduced in November 2018, proposes to amend the Act in order to protect a child's personal data from being processed for marketing purposes. The Bill is currently before Dáil Éireann (the lower house of the legislature in Ireland) at the second stage of the legislative procedure.
Transfers of personal data by a controller or a processor to third countries outside of the EU (and Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland) are only permitted where the conditions laid down in the GDPR are met (Article 44).
The European Commission has the power to make an adequacy decision in respect of a third country, determining that it provides for an adequate level of data protection, and therefore personal data may be freely transferred to that country (Article 45(1)). Currently, the following countries or territories enjoy adequacy decisions: Andorra, Argentina, Canada (with some exceptions), Switzerland, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, Eastern Republic of Uruguay and New Zealand.
Transfers to third countries are also permitted where appropriate safeguards have been provided by the controller or processor and on condition that enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for the data subject are available. The list of appropriate safeguards includes amongst others binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, and the EU - U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. The GDPR has removed the need which existed in some Member States under the previous law to notify and in some cases seek prior approval of standard contractual clauses from supervisory authorities.
The GDPR also includes a list of context specific derogations, permitting transfers to third countries where:
- explicit informed consent has been obtained;
- the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures;
- the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in the interests of the data subject between the controller and another natural or legal person;
- the transfer is necessary for important reasons of public interest;
- the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- the transfer is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject where consent cannot be obtained; or
- the transfer is made from a register which according to EU or Member State law is intended to provide information to the public, subject to certain conditions.
There is also a very limited derogation to transfer where no other mechanism is available and the transfer is necessary for the purposes of compelling legitimate interests of the controller which are not overridden by the interests and rights of the data subject; notification to the supervisory authority and the data subject is required if relying on this derogation.
Transfers demanded by courts, tribunals or administrative authorities of countries outside the EU (Article 48) are only recognised or enforceable (within the EU) where they are based on an international agreement such as a mutual legal assistance treaty in force between the requesting third country and the EU or Member State; a transfer in response to such requests where there is no other legal basis for transfer will infringe the GDPR.
The GDPR provides flexibility for Member States to set limits on the transfer of specific categories of personal data to third countries or international organisations. Excluding law enforcement purposes, the Act has not directly set such limits, but provides that the Minister for Justice, following consultation with other Ministers of Government as he or she considers appropriate, and the Commission may make regulations restricting the transfer of categories of personal data to a third country or an international organisation for important reasons of public policy. Any such regulations may be expressed to apply to one or more of:
- a category or categories of personal data
- a third country or class of third countries, or
- an international organisation
Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations for law enforcement purposes are dealt with extensively, but this is in pursuance to the Directive, and not the GDPR.
The GDPR is not prescriptive about specific technical standards or measures. Rather, the GDPR adopts a proportionate, context-specific approach to security. Article 32 states that controllers and processors shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of the processing. In so doing, they must take account of the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing. A 'one size fits all' approach is therefore the antithesis of this requirement.
However the GDPR does require controllers and processors to consider the following when assessing what might constitute adequate security:
- the pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data;
- the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
- the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and
- a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.
The security measures set out in the Act reflect those set out in the GDPR.
The GDPR contains a general requirement for a personal data breach to be notified by the controller to its supervisory authority, and for more serious breaches to also be notified to affected data subjects. A "personal data breach" is a wide concept, defined as any "breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed" (Article 4).
The controller must notify a breach to the supervisory authority without undue delay, and where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless the controller determines that the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. When the personal data breach is likely to result in a high risk to natural persons, the controller is also required to notify the affected data subjects without undue delay (Article 34).
Where the breach occurs at the level of the processor, it is required to notify the controller without undue delay upon becoming aware of the breach (Article 33(2)).
The notification to the supervisory authority must include where possible the categories and approximate numbers of individuals and records concerned, the name of the organisation's data protection officer or other contact, the likely consequences of the breach and the measures taken to mitigate harm (Article 33(3)).
Controllers are also required to keep a record of all data breaches (Article 33(5)) (whether or not notified to the supervisory authority) and permit audits of the record by the supervisory authority.
The Act does not build further on the GDPR's breach notification requirements or procedures.
The GDPR empowers supervisory authorities to impose fines of up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover, or EUR 20 million (whichever is higher).
It is the intention of the European Commission that fines should, where appropriate, be imposed by reference to the revenue of an economic undertaking rather than the revenues of the relevant controller or processor. Recital 150 of the GDPR states that 'undertaking' should be understood in accordance with Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which prohibit anti-competitive agreements between undertakings and abuse of a dominant position. Unhelpfully, the Treaty does not define 'undertaking' and the extensive case-law is not entirely straightforward, with decisions often turning on the specific facts of each case. However, in many competition cases, group companies have been regarded as part of the same undertaking. The assessment will turn on the facts of each case, and the first test cases under the GDPR will need to be scrutinised carefully to understand the interpretation of 'undertaking'. Under EU competition law case-law, there is also precedent for regulators to impose joint and several liability on parent companies for fines imposed on those subsidiaries in some circumstances (broadly where there is participation or control), so-called "look through" liability. Again, it remains to be seen whether there will be a direct read-across of this principle into GDPR enforcement.
Fines are split into two broad categories.
The highest fines (Article 83(5)) of up to EUR 20 million or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 4% of total worldwide turnover of the preceding year, whichever is higher, apply to infringement of:
- the basic principles for processing including conditions for consent;
- data subjects' rights;
- international transfer restrictions;
- any obligations imposed by Member State law for special cases such as processing employee data; and
- certain orders of a supervisory authority.
The lower category of fines (Article 83(4)) of up to EUR 10 million or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 2% of total worldwide turnover of the preceding year, whichever is the higher, apply to infringement of:
- obligations of controllers and processors, including security and data breach notification obligations;
- obligations of certification bodies; and
- obligations of a monitoring body.
Supervisory authorities are not required to impose fines but must ensure in each case that the sanctions imposed are effective, proportionate and dissuasive (Article 83(1)).
Fines can be imposed in combination with other sanctions.
Investigative and corrective powers
Supervisory authorities also enjoy wide investigative and corrective powers (Article 58) including the power to undertake on-site data protection audits and the power to issue public warnings, reprimands and orders to carry out specific remediation activities.
Right to claim compensation
The GDPR makes specific provision for individuals to bring private claims against controllers and processors:
- any person who has suffered "material or non-material damage" as a result of a breach of the GDPR has the right to receive compensation (Article 82(1)) from the controller or processor. The inclusion of "non-material" damage means that individuals will be able to claim compensation for distress even where they are not able to prove financial loss.
- data subjects have the right to mandate a consumer protection body to exercise rights and bring claims on their behalf (Article 80).
Individuals also enjoy the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77).
All natural and legal persons, including individuals, controllers and processors, have the right to an effective judicial remedy against a decision of a supervisory authority concerning them or for failing to make a decision (Article 78).
Data subjects enjoy the right to an effective legal remedy against a controller or processor (Article 79).
Under the Act the enforcement of data protection law in Ireland is the responsibility of the Commission. The Commission will have responsibility for enforcement of domestic matters but may also be responsible for matters which are pan-European. This would be the case where the Commission is selected as the lead supervisory authority under the 'one-stop-shop' principal under the GDPR.
The Act significantly increases the Commission's ability to enforce data protection law by giving it the following powers:
- to order a controller or processor to comply with data subject requests
- to order rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data
- to order a controller to communicate a personal data breach to data subjects
- to issue enforcement notices that require a controller or processor to take such steps as the Commission considers necessary and appropriate
- to require a report on any matter specified in the enforcement notice served on the controller or processor, or require production of any statement, record, or document pursuant to any provision of European or Irish privacy and data protection laws
- to audit the practices and procedures of a controller or processor
- to require production of any documents, records, statements or other information within a controller or processor's control that are relevant to or required for the audit
- to carry out an investigation for the purposes of an inquiry into suspected infringement
- to impose administrative fines in addition to or instead of other enforcement measures.
The final point (9) is highly significant. The Act provides that the Commission can impose administrative fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover, whichever is higher. In the case that the subject of an administrative fine be a public body that does not act as an undertaking within the meaning of the Competition Act 2002, the administrative fine may not exceed €1,000,000. In comparison to the DPA, the Act greatly enhances the Commission's ability to enforce compliance by controllers and processors.
The GDPR will apply to most electronic marketing activities, as these will involve some use of personal data (e.g. an email address which includes the recipient's name). The most plausible legal bases for electronic marketing will be consent, or the legitimate interests of the controller (which is expressly referenced as an appropriate basis by Recital 47). Where consent is relied upon, the strict standards for consent under the GDPR are to be noted, and marketing consent forms will invariably need to incorporate clearly worded opt-in mechanisms (such as the ticking of an unticked consent box, or the signing of a statement, and not merely the acceptance of terms and conditions, or consent implied from conduct, such as visiting a website).
Data subjects have an unconditional right to object to (and therefore prevent) any form of direct marketing (including electronic marketing) at any time (Article 21(3)).
Specific rules on electronic marketing (including circumstances in which consent must be obtained) are to be found in Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as transposed into the local laws of each Member State. The ePrivacy Directive is to be replaced by a Regulation, a change which is currently forecast for Spring 2019. In the meantime, GDPR Article 94 makes it clear that references to the repealed Directive 95/46/EC will be replaced with references to the GDPR. As such, references to the Directive 95/46/EC standard for consent in the ePrivacy Directive will be replaced with the GDPR standard for consent.
The ePrivacy Regulations implement the anti-spam rules set out in Article 13 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended by the Citizens' Rights Directive). These regulations came into effect on 1 July 2011. Electronic mail includes text messages (SMS), voice messages, sound messages, image messages, multimedia message (MMS) and email messages.
Direct marketing emails can generally only be sent to users with their prior consent. A limited exemption is available for direct marketing emails sent to existing customers promoting other products or services similar to those previously purchased by that consumer (such emails can only be sent for 12 months, the customer must have been given the opportunity to object when the details were collected and the product or service being marketed must be a product or service offered by the person with the existing relationship with the customer). B2B direct marketing emails can generally be sent unless the recipient has informed the sender that it does not consent to the receipt of such messages.
The identity of the sender must not be disguised or concealed and the recipient must be offered an opt-out.
Direct marketing calls (excluding automated calls) may be made to a landline provided the subscriber has not previously objected to receiving such calls or noted his or her preference not to receive direct marketing calls in the National Directory Database. Direct marketing calls cannot be made to a mobile phone without prior consent.
One cannot send a direct marketing fax to an individual subscriber in the absence of prior consent. One can send such a fax to a corporate subscriber unless that subscriber has previously instructed the sender that it does not wish to receive such communications or has recorded a general opt-out to receiving such direct marketing faxes in the National Directory Database.
Breach of these anti-spam rules is a criminal offence. On a summary prosecution (before a judge sitting alone) a maximum fine of EUR 5,000 per message sent can be handed down. On conviction on indictment (before a judge and jury) a company may be fined up to EUR 250,000 per message sent and an individual may be fined up to EUR 50,000 per message.
Electronic marketing is not directly dealt with by the GDPR and the Act follows suit. In Ireland, electronic marketing is currently governed by the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC), implemented in Ireland by the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (the '2011 Regulations'). The proposed new ePrivacy Regulation, currently in draft form, will replace these. The proposed ePrivacy Regulation is intended to be read in light of the GDPR.
Consent is needed for the use of cookies unless the cookie is strictly necessary for the provision of a service to that subscriber or user. The 2011 Regulations expressly refer to the use of browser settings as a means to obtain consent. There is no express requirement for consent to be 'prior' to the use of a cookie. A user must be provided with 'clear and comprehensive information' about the cookie (including, in particular, its purposes). This information must be prominently displayed and easily accessible. The methods adopted for giving information and obtaining consent should be as 'user friendly' as possible.
The DPC has provided regulatory guidance on the use of cookies which can be accessed here.
Location Data
One cannot process location data unless either:
- such data has been made anonymous, or
- user consent has been obtained.
A provider of electronic communication networks or services or associated facilities (ie a telco) must inform its users of:
- the type of location data (other than traffic data) that will be processed
- the purpose and duration of the processing, and
- whether the data will be transmitted to a third party to provide a value added service. Users can withdraw their consent to the processing of location data.
Cookie data is not dealt with by the GDPR, and the Act also does not address this topic. Cookie usage is instead dealt with by the 2011 Regulations. The proposed new ePrivacy Regulation, currently in draft form, will replace these. The proposed ePrivacy Regulation is intended to be read in light of the GDPR.
Location Data
Location data is captured by the GDPR within the definition of personal data. The Act does not specify any additional requirements for processing such personal data.

Wallpaper Weekly, the evening edition!
Rather than our usual morning post, here were are at 8:30pm bringing Wednesday it's deserved feature...the super luxe closet (or former closet) of Tinsley Mortimer - clad in Scalamandre "Chi'en Dragon - Blue on White" fabric. Looking beyond the designer wardrobe that surely resided there, we're totally nuts for the walls!
She also upholstered an amazing headboard by Joseph Hercules in the same print...
While we know Tinsley has since moved on from this Upper East Side apartment, we deemed it Wallpaper-Weekly-Worthy (agreed?). Now we're just curious to know what dons the walls in her new pad.
ps - Did you see the yesterday's article in the NYTimes dishing the latest about New York socialite Tinsley Mortimer?

|Yale and Princeton will square off in the annual Westchester debate competition Nov. 6 in Armonk (YWAA illustration)
The format will be similar to Westchester debates in previous years. Once the topic is announced, the college teams spar first. Participants will have an opportunity to present arguments and rebut others. Debaters are timed, and the ever-present gong will sound when speakers go on too long. The teams will go back and forth until judges announce a winner (and explain how they reached their decision). This year marks the program's 18th competition.
Six high-school teams, who will be coached by the college debaters, will follow in a similar format. Richard Bradley '86 will once again serve as the moderator for the evening.
High-school teams include those from Byram Hills, Ardsley, Yonkers, Fox Lane, Rye Neck, and the French School. Hackley School won the high-school round last year. Ardsley, Rye Neck and Yonkers return after having competed in the 2013 competition.
Prizes will be awarded to winning debaters and their schools. The program is funded in part by the Yale Westchester Nightingale Fund, which honors long-time debate leader and YWAA board member Bill Nightingale '53, who once again returns as a co-Chair of the event and emcee. Susan Kaminsky '86 is also a co-Chair and event organizer.
Zachary Young '17 and Tony Nguyen '16 represented Yale, when the duo triumphed last year.
The public, especially those interested in hearty, rapid-fire discussion of politics, world affairs and social issues, is invited. The competition starts at 7:15 pm (12 Tripp Lane, Armonk).

January 27, 2008 - Serengeti, Tanzania
Dave: On the second day at the Serengeti, Mark, Terry and I decided to do another early morning game drive. Namita wanted to stay back to sleep in and then write in the journal. I had my doubts on the journal part and sure enough when we returned at 8:30 she was just getting out of the shower. That moring we actually saw another leopard, rewarding us for getting up early. Mark actually spotted it while it was still fairly dark. This one was much more shy. This time we were the only truck...

One of the differences between a National Park and a Conservation Area is that no one can live in a National Park. People of the Maasai tribe live in the conservation area but they are restricted to raising cattle for a living. As Bariki stopped the truck at the edge we all got out for our first view of the...

Highlights of Web Services
A world of web, where an organization provide its services like health care, banking, financial etc over the internet to end users.
To grow up business, organizations want to provide their services to more and more end users in simple ways.
So organizations use web app, mobile app, ipad app etc so that one can use their services easily and quickly.
This is where web services comes into picture. Communicating amongst all these entities (web app, mobile app, ipad app etc) without affecting their existence is made possible by web services.
So you can have 3 different application with single business logic in web service. (sounds interesting.. 🙂 )
Less work.. more output…
that is what we want as a software developer.. isn't it?? 🙂
So the question arises, whats the magic behind it? How web services bless us?
Magic 1-
It communicates with applications using one language called Extensible Markup Language (XML) . It is a universal data format that any application can understand.
Magic 2-
You can exchange data between different applications and different platforms.
Magic 3-
Because all communication is in XML, web services are not tied to any one operating system or programming language. Java can talk with Perl; Windows applications can talk with Unix applications.
Magic 4-
It is written separately from the application logic. So it is reusable also.
Magic 5-
Your any previous application structure will still remain same without and effect.
Magic 6-
Here is final magic to describe its whole work flow. A web service uses XML to tag data, SOAP to transfer a message and finally WSDL to describe the availability of services.
In my next article, I will try to explore more about web services using examples. So stay tuned!!! 😉

When will the US put as much effort into providing treatment as it does trying to control opioid supply?/
Lately, politicians are doing a lot of talking about how to solve the opioid epidemic and how to reduce the number of overdose deaths. It's great to hear them addressing this topic. They talk about building a wall to prevent drugs from streaming into the country or locking up more of the drug dealers to try to get these deadly drugs off our streets.
But with demand as high as it is and access to the internet making it as easy to get opioids delivered to your house as a pizza, focusing only on the supply side of the opioid epidemic may not be the solution.
Today (Feb, 8 2016) on National Public Radio's Here and Now, Dr. Andrew Kolodny, a leading expert on opioid addiction, and Dr. Leana Wen, the Baltimore City Health Commissioner, discussed the issue. They talked about the availability of naloxone and training, not just first responders, but regular citizens to use this life saving medication. Naloxone is the rescue medication that is used to revive someone who has overdosed on an opioid. Its availability is crucial to reducing overdose deaths, which are now more than eighty per day in the US. They also both wholeheartedly agreed that to truly make a difference in this national health crisis the focus needs to be on treatment availability.
Too few primary care physicians are willing to treat patients in their practices with buprenorphine. Patients seeking treatment often end up waiting many weeks for a treatment slot in a specialized program. Primary care physicians carry a negative stigma against opioid addicted patients. They don't want that type of patient in their practice. They visualize patients in their waiting rooms in withdrawal or criminals or high need patients taking up too much of their staff's time. The reality is different; most maintenance patients are actually low-need once they are stabilized and in a good counseling program.
The wait time to get into treatment can be deadly for an active heroin user with lethal drugs like fentanyl and carfentanyl on the streets. The options for treatment in this country are usually methadone or buprenorphine. Until recently when legislation started to loosen the patient limits in buprenorphine programs there were very limited treatment slots. Patients can still find that locating a buprenorphine program is difficult. Methadone programs can be easier to find but with a job and family going daily for dosing can be challenging for some people.

1:21pm - I woke up late, made coffee and bacon with eggs. Drug my ass around camp and Im finally leaving now.
Location: Jessica Camp
Mile 1,163
While I was driving along the Salmon River I noticed some really nice sites. I need come back here one day. When I do, be sure to check out O'Brian Camp site #4 - it's dope man.
Fueled up at Mackay along the "Peaks and Craters" scenic byway.
Mile 1,757
Took a detour, and decided to check out Craters of the Moon National Preserve. Absolutely stunning, and strange….Volcanic fields for miles. Drove south to Carey, ID and found BLM sites near a creek in a big brown grass prairie. Also beautiful. The sun is setting right now the wind is gusting. An older couple from LA is also here! Lorraine (wife) is trying to learn photography and Gary (husband) is a fucking rocket scientist that just retired from JPL. They moved to Salt Lake last year. She says there will be a meteor shower at 2am tonight. I should explore this creek next to my tent.

This is a complete step-by-step approach to help you become an accomplished guitarist. These rock guitar lessons are designed as a series of 48 weekly lessons on 8 DVDs or 8 Digital Downloads. Can be mastered without the need for personal instruction. If you do need help, we're here for you. Post your questions on GuitarLessonForum.com to receive help from our instructors and students.
Since 1982 this program has continued to improve through three major revisions (1992, 2007, and 2017). These updates reflect student input and changing technology. For example, the first course was taught on audio cassettes – remember those? Now it utilizes digital download, DVD, and streaming. This is a step-by-step set of instructions that guarantees success. It's fun, entertaining, challenging, and rewarding. The course is called complete not because it covers every aspect of guitar. Instead, it completely reinforces the fundamentals.
You don't need to spend weeks and months learning techniques that are seldom used. 80% of mastering guitar comes from just 20% of the information.We stress the 20% that will yield the greatest results with a minimum effort.
Digital Download, DVD
I'm going into week 17, which puts me at the end of level 6. This course was exactly what I was looking for when I contacted Doug for the first time 3 months ago. I can't explain how awesome this course is, and Doug is a top notch teacher. I'm studying this course weekly to keep the excitement level at a max. If you want to learn what is needed to play guitar purchase this course, you won't be sorry.
I bought most of his tapes in the early 90's which included his 6 lessons, song tapes & speed kills. You could buy them individually then. Lesson 1-3 came on a single tape and only had a printed label on the tape. Soon he got fancy packaging. I always wanted to play the guitar but didn't want to go out and take lessons. The tapes worked. I would buy sheet music books from Cherry Hill and work on playing songs I liked. Also played many songs from Guitar magazines. Still have Speed Demons of Metal magazine that had several great songs.
Back then he offered a rebate if you bought a Guitar from Carvin after seeing his tapes. I got that. Carvin made nice guitars.
I completed 90% of the previous version. Then this came out. The previous version was so good that I wanted to see how it could possibly be improved. The pacing is slower, everything is made plain and simple. Doug breaks down literally everything into tiny, digestible chunks. Best of all, he teaches you how to practice and sets specific goals so you can measure your progress. If you follow Doug's instructions and stick to the course, it is impossible not to improve your guitar playing. Bottom line: this is a quality product for serious guitarists.
I've been working my way slowly though the course (and slowly is purely because I have other playing commitments that take up my time). It's actually perfectly paced in terms of how much to work on each lesson, especially if you're busy. My goal for this was to improve my soloing skills, and honestly they're already SO much better. Definitely enough improvement that I keep working to finish the course. Doug is also amusing enough to keep my interest for the videos….
Having a great time with Doug's new version of the guitar course. Been playing for a while but Doug makes sure you focus on playing cleanly and the exercises help significantly with keeping time while playing. My problem was always lead playing with scales and the different positions and in a couple of weeks I have already shown improvements in these areas. Highly recommended.
I've been enjoying Doug Marks' courses. In a short amount of time, my speed has increased significantly and I have a better understanding of scales and bar chords.
This 2016 revision is a gold mine of information! And I hope that the Metal Method brand gets the awareness and recognition it deserves. Everyone who pays expensive weekly guitar lessons should be aware of Doug Marks courses. They are less expensive and far more effective.
Thank you Doug Marks!
I have messed around on the guitar for many years (I am now 60!) but have never made any real progress but since starting this course I have been blown away by it. I too am working slowly through – I am now on week 26 which has taken me about 9 months to complete but that has been my choice as I find some lessons harder to master than others. Doug Marks is an excellent instructor – clear, concise and with a sense of humour. His motivational tips are also a great help. I now look forward to practice each day and have clear goals to achieve. I cannot recommend this too highly to any beginner or intermediate player.

The only purchase necessary to implement CASAS eTests Online is for test administrations (aka WTUs or Web Test Units). Because the application shares a database with TOPSpro Enterprise (TE) Online, purchase of WTUs allows users to access basic TE functions and reports. Details …
One WTU is used for one test event in one modality; i.e. one reading appraisal requires one WTU, one math pretest requires one WTU, and so on. Test events that pair a short locator sequence (for placement) followed by the appropriate pretest (based on locator result) require only one WTU. WTUs do not expire.
For easy reference, each agency account has a Tests Administrations page that logs WTUs purchased, used, in reserve (i.e. tests in progress) and WTUs available.
See Catalog, page 6. CASAS applies a handling fee of $15 to all WTU orders.
There are two options:
Because WTUS are intangible, CASAS delivers an email confirmation that WTUs are posted to the production server. The contact specified on the order form should be someone who understands the function of a WTU or someone who can and will forward the confirmation to the appropriate person.

A Little Hidden Gem - The Messy Artist
* This post was not sponsored in any way... we just had an awesome time! I love discovering new places to take my kids. Things to do on the weekends, days off from school, rainy summer days, are always what I'm in search of! Today, my 4 year old had a birthday party for a friend from his class. I'm a regular on Route 10, especially in the plaza that houses Michael's, Carters, 5 Below, Dollar Tree, and Best Buy! I've driven by The Messy Artist more times than I can count but I've never stepped foot inside until today! What a pleasant surprise!
We walked in, to a bright open space with different stations for the kids to go to. There was a beading station, a design your own bag station, and the ever popular slime station! The kids were able to walk around at their own leisure and do as much or as little as they wanted. For those that weren't in the "crafting mood", there was also a pit filled with building blocks and another filled with squishy balls of all assorted sizes! My son had a blast! After a little coaxing for him to drop the blocks (what 4 year old boy doesn't like blocks), he wound up making a cute little canvas bag and he made me the best beaded bracelet I ever did see! When time in that room was done, the children were brought into a separate room for pizza and dessert (the cutest Moana cupcake cake ever)! The staff was extremely nice and welcoming as well! My son left with a smile on his face along with some major icing and that's all I could ask for!
Besides birthday parties this place offers spring and summer camps, mommy and me painting classes, drop off crafting classes and so much more! For any of you looking for a new place to try and you haven't yet checked out The Messy Artist, I would definitely give it a look and try it out!

Your tax dollars, lost in space: Major science funding takes hit under Obama
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NASA is shuttering the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explore (GEMS) project, which was going to use X-rays to study black holes and space-time theory, the space agency announced Thursday -- but not before costing taxpayers at least $43.5 million.
GEMS was supposed to cost no more than $119 million, not counting the rocket that would launch it into orbit. But NASA has already spent tens of millions, according to June 5 briefing charts obtained by SpaceNews.com, and an independent evaluation pegged the project at 20 to 30 percent overbudget.
NASA's astrophysics director Paul Hertz said the technology needed for the instrument took longer to develop than expected, which drove up the price.
"We are in the process of formally notifying Congress of this decision," he said.
Canceling the X-ray telescope mission will cost NASA millions in fees, bringing the total bill for not deploying a major new science mission to as much as $56 million, according to SpaceNews.com.
"The GEMS project was initiated under a very well designed cost cap ... it was clear they would not be able to be completed within their cost cap," Hertz explained.
It joins a growing list of major science projects, from the space shuttle and new rockets to labs built back on or deep beneath the ground, that have been cancelled or cut by the Obama administration.
The crippled budgets and closed labs have some scientists wondering if major funding has stalled -- and fearing the long term implications.
"When science loses funding, all of society suffers," Don Lincoln, a senior scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., told FoxNews.com. "While many citizens are not especially interested in what they consider to be esoteric bits of knowledge, they do like the spinoffs. The World Wide Web was invented at the CERN lab to help particle physicists communicate across with each other across the world. If the laboratory wasn't built or was closed, there would be no Fox News website."
Lincoln explained that science labs will aim high and develop a budget that covers what they really want to do. Then the government declines the budget, and they start over, forced to create a weaker proposal. "The things we can do are deemed not grandiose enough, and the things that are grandiose enough we can't afford," he said.
The result, he said, is that experiments are sometimes outsourced to other countries. China has a space laboratory called the Tiangong-1, while U.S. scientists fly to the CERN particle accelerator in Geneva. In the U.S., the science picture is different:
- This week, the space program landed with a final thud as NASA donated the Space Shuttle Enterprise to a science museum in New York and ceded the space race to the private sector. President Obama killed the Constellation project, intended to create a successor to the shuttle, in early 2010.
- The Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUCEL) lost funding from the NSF in late 2010. The project -- a "dark matter" detector -- rebounded when the Department of Energy funded a new project, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF).
- The James Webb Space Telescope, the Hubble successor, has suffered major setbacks and funding snafus -- though it continues, overbudget by numbers as astronomical as the heavens it will study.
- There's a barren field at a science lab near Chicago. Just a few years ago, the Fermilab Tevatron particle accelerator was whisking atoms around a 3.9-mile oval and crashing them into one another, looking for signs of the early universe. Last September, that experiment -- which cost about $120 million to build in 1983, not including ongoing maintenance costs -- was closed as well.
"Conducting fundamental science experiments is how we learn about the world around us, how we interact with our world and how the world affects us," said Kevin Lesko, the principal investigator for SURF. Probing the origins of the universe costs money.
"The science communities are responding to the economic realities that we are all facing," Lesko told FoxNews.com. But students at universities and science labs have to be re-assigned when projects change, which can cause delays or hinder their education. "We can't expect our students to take a multiple year delay in their studies, nor can they quickly change topics to work on some other question."
Not every scientist sees a crisis in funding, however.
"We've seen programs come and go in almost 30 years," said Sarah Boisvert, the co-founder of Potomac Photonics and a fellow at the Laser Institute of America. "While our NSF funding of last year was delayed while Congress re-authorized funds, it has been no different than other administrations. The hot topics -- right now manufacturing-related work, sensors, miniaturization, MEMS, nanotechnology -- are doing well. And these are the areas where the US needs to stay ahead of the world."
The GEMS scientists appealed the cancellation of their mission on Tuesday at NASA headquarters, according to Space.com.
And NASA will continue to spend money on the project: It will cost an estimated $13 million to close out the project, Hertz said, even though no rocket had been purchased for the mission and the telescope itself had not yet been built.
Joshua Chamot, a spokesman for the NSF, says most science projects receive solid funding. Reductions are part of the planning process, for good stewardship.
"Each year, NSF receives over 50,000 competitive requests for funding, and makes about 11,000 new funding awards," Chamot told FoxNews.com. "This 20 percent funding rate means that each year, thousands of projects involving good science don't get funded."
"Processes have been in place for many years to help us update research priorities to make sure the best science at the outermost frontiers of knowledge is supported."

Martin O'Neill calls up Ronan Curtis to senior squad
Great news for in-form St. Johnston man
Ireland call-up for Ronan Curtis
Ronan Curtis has enjoyed a superb run of form since his move from Derry City to Portsmouth - and it just gets better for the St. Johnston man.
There is confirmation that Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill has added Curtis to the squad to take on Poland in an international friendly on Tuesday evening in Wroclaw.
It follows the striker's brilliant equaliser for the Reublic of Ireland U-21s in their 1-1 draw away to Kosovo on Friday
Curtis, who has scored five goals in six games for Portsmouth this season after joining from Derry City, has impressed for Noel King's Under-21s this campaign.
However, the 22-year-old is suspended for Tuesday's qualifier against Germany in Tallaght Stadium so he will link up with the senior squad instead for their friendly against Poland.
Sean McDermott, whose father Terence is from Mountcharles, and Seamus Coleman are also part of O'Neill's squad.
Defender Stephen Ward, who earned his 50th senior cap in the defeat to Wales, has returned to his club (Burnley) with a foot injury. Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has also left the squad following two days training in Dragon Park, Newport.
Republic of Ireland Squad
Goalkeepers: Colin Doyle (Hearts), Sean McDermott (Kristiansund BK), Darren Randolph (Middlesbrough)
