A bill "intended to better guarantee the right to privacy in the digital age" was adopted by a large majority of the French Senate March 23, 2010, and immediately transmitted to the French National Assembly for review.

The bill is principally aimed at significantly reinforcing the obligations of data processors, and with increasing the powers of the French data protection agency, the CNIL.
