Article 94 Abrogation de la directive 95/46/CE


Summary What does Article 94 of the GDPR regulation say?

This is a transitional and housekeeping article that formally closes the chapter on the previous EU data protection framework.

It repeals Directive 95/46/EC — the predecessor to the GDPR — and ensures legal continuity by redirecting any existing references to that Directive toward this Regulation.

It also addresses the institutional transition, replacing the old Article 29 Working Party with the newly established European Data Protection Board.

Important points:

  • Directive 95/46/EC is repealed as of 25 May 2018, the date the GDPR becomes applicable.
  • Any legal references to the repealed Directive are to be read as references to this Regulation going forward.
  • The European Data Protection Board replaces the Article 29 Working Party established under the old Directive.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
