COMMISSION V. BAVARIAN LAGER CO., 29.Jun.2010 (“BAVARIAN LAGER”)

Personal data: Surnames and forenames may be regarded as personal data. Thus the list of names of participants in a meeting is personal data, since persons can be identified. (¶ 68)

It should be noted that, in paragraph 104 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court, in examining Article 2(a) of Regulation No 45/2001, that is to say the definition of the concept of ‘personal data’, correctly held that surnames and forenames may be regarded as personal data.
