EU Directive

The Gorse Fox has just been research some legislation regarding Data Protection and Data Retention. He notes (mischievously) that Under the terms of the EU Directive "data retained will be made available only to competent national authorities in specific cases and in accordance with national law".

Given the various mishaps that HMRC have been through with the accidental release of public data, it would seem that they are not competent and therefore should be excluded from such data.
