Abstract
To update previous correspondence to this journal, we are pleased to report that, in large part through the efforts of the biomedical research community, a European General Data Protection Regulation that is favourable for research was agreed by Member States and Parliament in December, 2015. Although the Regulation will probably not apply until mid-2018, now is an appropriate time to highlight the implications for biomedical research.
