The Privireal project examined the implementation of the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC in relation to medical research and the role of ethics committees. The Directive, in general, aims to remove obstacles to the flow of personal data by requiring a high level of protection of fundamental rights (in particular, privacy) in the Member States.
