Title :
A comparative study of Personal Data Protection Bill in Japan with UK Data Protection Act 1998
Abstract :
In Japan, "Personal Data Protection Bill" and "Law concerning Protection of Personal Data possessed by Administrative Organizations" were discussed in the Diets in 2002. Both bills failed to pass in the Diet. They will be discussed in the Diets in 2003 again. I can point out some problems involved in bills such as "data possessed in public organizations" International Aspects" "Enforcement" "Ambiguous status of rights of the data subjects" in comparing both bills with UK Data Protection Act 1998.
