The PM noted the draft may return to
Jordan's Parliament again after two or three
years to improve its content as
the regulation deals with a "quickly developing" field, Jordan News
Agency, Petra reported.
Two years of dialogue
The PM added that this bill was sent to the
House two years ago and an "in-depth" dialogue took place in this
regard with all stakeholders in
personal data processing, management, and
retention.
He indicated that all these discussions
considered the "important, necessary and required" balance related to
the public and
private protection for personal data under international
controls.
Globally, the premier noted, more than 137
countries have "significant entrepreneurial" sectors that have such
legislations and laws, which have been gradually revised and reviewed, driven
by their "purely" technical and complex issues.
