for personal data protection
I
n the wake of the new European
General Data Protection Reg-
ulation (GDPR), which started
implementing from May 25, the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Macedonia organized two informative
sessions for its member companies.
The first event was an introduction
to the general regulation for the pro-
tection of personal data (GDPR), and
the second covered the technical
aspects of the implementation.
In the third continuation of this series of events, on April 12, AmCham hosted
a learning session withthe Secretary-General of the Directorate for Personal
Data Protection, Ivan Kuzevski, who spoke to more than 20 representatives of
member companies on the comparison between the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) and the existing Law on Personal Data Protection (LPDP) in
the Republic of Macedonia. The goal of the event was to help local companies
in clarifying which regulation they should follow when processing EU citizens’
data.

in order to help Macedonian companies to embark on the road towards har-
monization with European regulations and preparation for the new Macedonian
legislation.
