The Law of 18 July 2018 supplements the Law of 17 May 2017 on the implementation of Regulation (EU) 655/2014, which established a European Account Preservation Order (“EAPO”) procedure, as an alternative to existing legal debt recovery procedures in each EU country.

La Loi vient donc parachever ce régime, en introduisant un nouveau chapitre 6 sur les contrats de crédit immobilier dans le même code.
Since the EU Court of Justice made its ruling on the right to be forgotten in May 2014, the topic has been in the media almost incessantly. Most of the debate concerns matters of principle: does the right amount to censorship, who is permitted to exercise the right and under what conditions, and does it actually benefit privacy? As new cases continue to come up, the EU is working hard to provide guidelines, fact sheets and myth-busting documents to explain why the ruling makes sense.
