LABURPENA: Osasunari buruzko datuak transmititzeko modurik ohikoena datuen lagapena edo komunikazioa da. Datuak hertsiki osasunaren alorrean transmititzen direneko kasuak alde batera utzita, osasunari buruzko datuak beste alor batzuetara ere transmiti daitezke. Hainbat arauren interpretaziotik abiatuta ondoriozta daitekeenez, zenbait kasutan posible da datuak tratatzeko ohiko tokitik ateratzea, beste interes batzuk asetze aldera. Askotan, hainbat instantzietan zalantzan jarri dute zer kasutan eta zer baldintzatan transmiti daitezkeen osasunari buruzko datuak osasunaren alorretik kanpo. Zalantza horiek argitzeko, beharrezkoa da osasunari buruzko arautegira, datu pertsonalak babesten dituenera eta askotariko gaiak erregulatzen dituen sektoreko arauetara jotzea. RESUMEN: La fórmula más común de transmitir los datos de salud la constituye la cesión o comunicación de datos. Dejando a un lado los supuestos en que los datos se transmiten dentro del ámbito estrictamente sanitario, los datos de salud pueden cederse fuera de este entorno. Partiendo de una interpretación conjunta de diferentes normas puede llegarse a la conclusión de que en determinados casos es posible sacar los datos sanitarios de su lugar común de manipulación con el fin de satisfacer otros intereses. Muchas veces se ha cuestionado desde diversas instancias en qué casos y cumpliendo qué condiciones pueden transmitirse los datos de salud fuera del ámbito estrictamente sanitario. Será necesario atender a la normativa sanitaria, a la reguladora de la protección de los datos de carácter personal y a determinada normativa sectorial dedicada a regular aspectos muy variados para tratar de resolver las citadas interrogantes. ABSTRACT: The most common way of transfer of health data is the assignment or communication of data. Leaving aside those cases where data are transfered within a strictly confined health care sphere, the data on health can be transfered beyond that area. From a joint interpretation of several provisions we can come to the conclusion that in some specific cases data on health can be extracted from its common place for the purpose of meeting other different interests. It has many times been questioned by different instances in which cases and meeting which criteria data on health might be transferred beyond the strictly health case sphere. It will be necessary to pay attention to the health care legislation, to the legislation on personal data protection and to some sectorial rules devoted to regulate a variety of aspects so as to solve the aforementioned questions.

Harmful Effects

The irruption of COVID-19 has led to a multitude of deep-seated transformations, which go beyond the purely sanitary sphere, leading to major socio-economic changes, among which the evolution of traditional forms of administrative intervention or the empowerment and/or acceleration of the advances derived from the digital (re)volution stand out for their extraordinary importance. Thereby, in recent months we have witnessed the implementation of numerous initiatives aimed to alleviate the harmful effects of the pandemic by developing technological tools based on processing categories of specially protected personal data, such as health data, which raises important questions from the perspective of privacy and digital rights. The aim of this study is to carry out a detailed analysis of some essential elements, necessary to achieve the difficult balance between the promotion of technological instruments that contribute to control the effects of COVID-19 increasing the resources available to health authorities, and safeguarding the fundamental right of personal data protection.

UNSTRUCTURED As of May 2018, all relevant institutions within member countries of the European Economic Area are required to comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or face significant fines. This regulation has also had a notable effect on the European Union (EU) candidate countries, which are undergoing the process of harmonizing their legislature with the EU as part of the accession process. The Republic of Serbia is an example of such a candidate country, and its 2018 Personal Data Protection Act mirrors the majority of provisions in the GDPR. This paper presents the impact of the GDPR on health data management and Serbia’s capability to conduct international health data research projects. Data protection incidents reported in Serbia are explored to identify common underlying causes using a novel taxonomy of contributing factors across aspects and health system levels. The GDPR has an extraterritorial application for the non-EU data controllers who process the data of EU citizens and residents, which mainly affects private practices used by medical tourists from the EU, public health care institutions frequented by foreigners, as well as expatriates, dual citizens, tourists, and other visitors. Serbia generally does not have well-established procedures to support international research collaborations around its health data. For smaller projects, contractual arrangements can be made with health data providers and their ethics committees. Even then, organizations that have not previously participated in similar ventures may require approval or support from health authorities. Extensive studies that involve multisite data typically require the support of central health system institutions and relevant research data aggregators or electronic health record vendors. The lack of a framework for preparation, anonymization, and assurance of privacy preservation forces researchers to rely heavily on local expertise and support. Given the current limitation and potential issues with the legislation, it remains to be seen whether the move toward the GDPR will be beneficial for the Serbian health system, medical research, protection of personal data and privacy rights, and research capacity. Although significant progress has been made so far, a strategic approach is needed at the national level to address insufficient resources in the area of data protection and develop the personal data protection environment further. This will also require a targeted educational effort among health workers and decision makers, aiming to improve awareness and develop skills and knowledge necessary for the workforce.

Abstract In the review below the author presents a general overview of the selected contemporary legal issues related to the present growth of the aviation industry and the development of aviation technologies. The review is focused on the questions at the intersection of aviation law and personal data protection law. Massive processing of passenger data (Passenger Name Record, PNR) in IT systems is a daily activity for the contemporary aviation industry. Simultaneously, since the mid- 1990s we can observe the rapid growth of personal data protection law as a very new branch of the law. The importance of this new branch of the law for the aviation industry is however still questionable and unclear. This article includes the summary of the author’s own research conducted between 2011 and 2017, in particular his audits in LOT Polish Airlines (June 2011-April 2013) and Lublin Airport (July - September 2013) and the author’s analyses of public information shared by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), Association of European Airlines (AEA), Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) and (GIODO). The purpose of the author’s research was to determine the applicability of the implementation of technical and organizational measures established by personal data protection law in aviation industry entities.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.
