December is upon us, and although our IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress (DPC) is now behind us, the news made on the DPC stage and the issues discussed by privacy professionals from across Europe and around the globe have continued to generate headlines.

First up, I’d be remiss if I didn’t call to your attention the reporting from my IAPP colleagues and the blog entries from privacy experts that have been published since our last Digest. In a post for Privacy Perspectives, for example, John Bowman and Christian Wiese Svanberg write, “The IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress 2014 in Brussels had more takeaways for privacy professionals than from a frites stall on the Grande Place.” Read their post for highlights from the conference and why they believe 2015 will be “crucial” for EU privacy law.

And in The Privacy Advisor, my colleagues Sam Pfeifle and Angelique Carson, CIPP/US, have several stories from their time in Brussels attending the DPC. Carson highlights a session featuring four data protection officers who discussed how they foresee their roles and responsibilities changing under the data protection regulation and their plans for leveraging the opportunity, while Pfeifle writes about MEP Sophie in’t Veld’s Privacy Platform discussion on “what may be the hottest topic in European privacy: the so-called right to be forgotten.”

This week, it’s the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) making news. In a post for Privacy Perspectives highlighted below, Wilson Sonsini's Christopher Kuner applauds the appointment of our new EDPS and assistant supervisor but writes about the need to improve the selection process. And, in The Privacy Advisor, read Angelique’s interview from Brussels with Giovanni Buttarelli.

There’s much more below. Every indication is privacy will remain in the headlines as we say goodbye to 2014 in the weeks ahead!
