C-275/06 - Promusicae vs Telefonica - ECJ decision

By Giovanni Maria Riccio

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has decided on 29 January 2008 in the
case of Productores de Música de España Promusicae vs. Telefónica de España
considering that the European law "does not require member states to lay
down an obligation to disclose personal data in the context of civil
proceedings". However, the decision allows the national courts to do that
if the national interpretation requires so: "As to those directives, their
provisions are relatively general, since they have to be applied to a large
number of different situations which may arise in any of the Member States."
