摘要
網際網路與不斷進步之通訊科技對個人資料保護之工作造成嚴重衝擊，而近來個人資料洩密問題也對台灣社會造成巨大的損失，並引起社會大眾廣泛注意。

此一問題在歐洲較早獲得重視，並已經建立法律規範以管制個人資料之流通。歐盟現行之個人資料保護指令為目前世上最先進之立法保障規範之一，然而，該指令生效執行十年之後，歐盟各國發現個人資料保護之工作仍有許多不足之處。在歐盟執委會所發佈的執行評估報告中，認為法律規範本身已經到達相當之水準，執行面向之問題才是個人資料保護仍有不足之主因。

考量個人資料保護於現代社會之重要性，本文將以英國為範例，研究歐盟個人資料保護系統施行之情況，並著重於執行與監督面向，希望能找出個人資料保護之工作更有效之執行模式。

為取得最新資訊並實地觀察個人資料保護工作之執行情況，本研究絕大部分完成於倫敦大學•皇后瑪莉學院；而研究期間係由中華民國教育部補助部份支出。

由於歐盟個人資料保護指令 95/46/EC 以及英國個人資料保護法1998於台灣不易取得全文紙本，因此隨附在本文附錄之中，以供讀者閱讀之便，特此說明。

Abstract
The prevalence of internet and advanced telecommunication technology has cause a serious problem on personal data protection. In Taiwan, the problem of unwanted disclosure of personal data has caused a great social cost and drew the attention of all citizens recently.

In Europe, the problem has been earlier noticed and certain laws and regulations have been established. The European Data Protection Directive is known as one of the most advanced regulations on the personal data protection all over the world. However, after ten years of enforcement, they still found a great insufficiency on the work of protecting personal data. In the assessment report published by the European Commission, it is indicated that the law itself indeed has an adequate level of norm, but the problems on the execution, on contrary, is the major factor caused the insufficiency.

Concerning the importance of the personal data protection in modern society, this research would like to evaluate the personal data protection system in EU and take UK as and example on the implementation of EU Directive. We will mainly focus on the aspects of execution and supervision, and hope to find out better solutions on completing the personal data protection system.

In order to obtain the latest information and practically observe the execution of Data Protection work, a great part of this research is done in Queen Mary, University of London, and the research program is supported by Ministry of Education of Taiwan.

Here an explanation must be made. Due to the acquirement of EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC & UK Data Protection Act 1998 is relatively difficult in Taiwan, these two bills are enclosed in the appendix for readers’ convenience.
