The EU legislative instruments that exist in the field of judicial cooperation in civil matters complement the regime of Directive 95/46/EC and help to put into practice real data protection in online cases and enforcement of data protection rights across borders. Relying on judicial cooperation and the principle of trust between judicial authorities of different Member States, these legal instruments unify conflict-of-law rules, international jurisdiction provisions, setting up a system of recognition and automatic enforcement of foreign judgments. This paper explains how this system is crucial to protect the right to data privacy and to give effectiveness to the rights provided for in Directive 95/46/EC.
