Title: The Right to Protection of Personal Data. Incapable of Autonomous Standing in the Basic EU Constituting Documents?
Abstract: Entire books still need to be written about Article 16 TFEU, what it does for data protection and what it does not for other fundamental rights recognized in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. It is a difficult provision, not only because of its unique standing in EU primary law, its rather vague wordings and its limitations in other provisions and declarations.
