Law and data protection
EU
Abbreviation for European Union
In short and in plain language
The EU is a union of states in Europe.
They share a common market and common laws.
For care firms, it matters most for data privacy. One question is whether data is handled inside the union.
Rules on access for all and on open pay also go back to the union.
Definition
The EU is a union of European states with a common internal market and shared legislation. For care services it matters mainly for data protection, for example whether data is processed within the EU. Requirements on accessibility and pay transparency also go back to EU directives.
