Abstract

EU data protection law and medical research ethics overlap in scope and content in numerous instances in which personal data are processed in medical research. It is not always the case, however, that the conditions outlined by the two rule-sets precisely coincide. In the past few years, this lack of confluence has led to confusion as to how the two rule-sets should best relate to one another. This confusion has led to different approaches to the relationship being taken, on occasion leading to counter-intuitive conclusions. Unfortunately, there has hitherto been little effort to provide clarity to this confusion. In this regard, this article attempts to provide a general normative framework aimed at facilitating optimally cogent and just reconciliations of EU data protection law and medical research ethics.
