The German federal commissioner for data protection and freedom of information criticizes the federal government

Prof. Ulrich Kelber, the German federal commissioner for data protection and freedom of information, criticized the federal government in a press release. Germany has not implemented the EU data protection directive on data protection in the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences and the execution of sentences for more than 1,000 days.
As a result, he lacks effective enforcement powers with the security authorities, which would be a basis for the judicial prosecution of data protection violations.
