Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

Wait, so a directive is like a suggestion and a regulation is more like a demand? That's a key difference I need to remember.

Option B sounds more accurate to me. Directives provide guidance while regulations are binding laws that must be followed by all EU members.

That makes sense. So, regulations are like rules that everyone has to follow, while directives are more like guidelines that member states can adapt to their own legal systems.

I agree with Pamella. Regulations are directly applicable in all member states, while directives need to be transposed into national law by each member state.

I think the difference is that a regulation is binding for all EU Member States, while a directive allows some flexibility for member states to implement it in their own laws.
