2018-05-04 | Beijing

The European Chamber’s ICT and Cybersecurity working groups submitted collated comments in response to the Ministry of Public Security (MPS)’s public consultation on the Provisions on the Safety Supervision and Inspection of Internet by Public Security Authorities.

The Provisions is intended to deepen the enforcement of the Cybersecurity Law, and improve cybersecurity supervision by public security authorities. The European Chamber is mainly concerned by the lack of definition for important terminologies, as well as the absence of procedural rules, clear legal consequences, and an appeal mechanism in the case of disagreement with official inspection records.
