Study Notes

Data protection law, including the right of access to personal data, is primarily focused on safeguarding individuals' privacy and fundamental rights, particularly concerning their private life and the handling of personal data.
Regulation No 45/2001 and Directive 95/46 have similar objectives in ensuring data protection but are not meant to provide full transparency in decision-making processes or guarantee good administrative practices.
The right of access to personal data is limited to providing information necessary to rectify or erase data, verify processing lawfulness, or object to processing, rather than granting full access to all personal data.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that data protection law's scope is very limited, aiming to protect individuals' privacy rights rather than serving as a tool for accessing administrative documents.
The ECJ has clarified that the right of access does not extend to reviewing the accuracy of decision-making processes involving personal data, emphasizing that the main purpose is to ensure privacy protection, not administrative document access.
