Diana Dimitrova untersucht erstmals theoretisch und empirisch das Konzept der Metakompetenz. Sie zeigt, dass die Fähigkeit zur selbstorganisierten Kompetenzentwicklung in signifikanter Beziehung zum Berufserfolg steht und formuliert konkrete Empfehlungen für die Personalentwicklung, um die Metakompetenz von Mitarbeitern in Unternehmen zu fördern.

AbstractThe availability of applications that could be used by first responders and citizens in emergency situations has been constantly increasing over the past years. This trend is predetermined by the fact that various applications facilitate situational awareness and optimize data exchange between multiple actors. Yet the use of new technologies should be considered in the context of the applicable legal framework. Therefore, in this contribution, we discuss the applicability of the European data protection framework and its key principles related to online disaster management, and in particular, the processing of personal data when responding to disasters. The contribution provides examples of issues arising from the use of mobile apps.

Directive 2016/680 provides for two procedures for the exercise of the rights of access to one's data: a direct one (that is, directly against the law enforcement authority) and an 'indirect' one, in which the responsible Data Protection Authority (DPA) exercises the right of access of the data subject against the law enforcement authority which refused the direct access, including by carrying out a legality check on the data processing of the personal data of the individual requesting access. The recent judgment in Ligue des droits humains ASBL treated the question of the powers of DPAs in the framework of this procedure, amongst others, as a matter of DPA independence. Existing literature has observed that the implementing laws of three Member States – Belgium, France and Germany – severely restrict the powers of the DPAs when these perform the 'indirect' right of access, for example to carry out the legality check and inform the individuals of the results of the check. In the this article we will argue that these national restrictions constitute an unjustified interference with the requirement on DPA independence in EU data protection law, including in Article 8(3) of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
