Data Protection and Consumer Rights in Transport - Nordic Seminar

The Nordic Council of Ministers held a conference in Oslo in November 2004 on protection of privacy and consumer rights in the transport sector. The conference, which was attended by representatives from transport authorities, the Data Inspectorates and Consumer Councils from all the five Nordic countries, concluded: There is a need for guidelines on how the transport authorities can ensure the implementation of the principles of privacy and consumer rights when intelligent transport systems and information and communication systems are applied in the transport sector; There is a need for systematic learning between the different modes of transport; Privacy Impact Assessments should be carried out when systems involving personal data are developed or implemented.
