Therefore, in2005 the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Dutch DPA) [College Bescherming Persoonsgegevens] expressly posed the question as to what essentially the Wbp [Dutch Data Protection Act] should serve to protect and the path that must be taken in order to achieve this. In these changing times, the power of expression of the law is becoming less dependable and greater use must be made of the visions and findings of others. The Dutch DPA considers itself fortunate that in 005 - and also in the context of the forthcoming evaluation of the Wbp - it was able to rely upon the willingness of many discussion partners, including academics, experts in the field, companies and social organisations, to contribute their ideas in this regard.
