In the absence of strategically devised approach to the issues of personal data protection, the Government of Serbia adds to some of its activities, and to otherwise numerous existing problems in this field some new ones. Laws and by-laws are prepared and proposed in which personal data protection is treated in a way non-harmonized with the Constitution and the Personal Data Protection Act.
Unfortunately, the practice is still maintained that in the procedure of preparing the law and other legal acts pertaining to personal data protection, opinion of the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection is not acquired, because of which he is often forced to last minute reactions or to acting with delay.
Today the Commissioner has, in relation to the Proposal of the Law on Export and Import of Double Purpose Goods, because he became acquainted with its contents from the National Assembly website, sent to the competent Board of the National Assembly a letter, in which besides else writes: „Without challenging the need that in the procedure of issuing the permit to competent authorities processing of all relevant data should be permitted, I hereby point out that this issue should be regulated in an unambiguous and precise manner, by the Law, and not let it be decided by anyone's free evaluation and will. Because this can, besides „abstract" unconstitutionality and illegality, also have as its consequence numerous specific violations of human rights."
