📝 PwC Legal Belgium has featured not once, but twice in the European Journal of Compliance and Integrity published by Anthemis. 🔍 Tom Villé, senior public lawyer and director, along with Justine Hendrickx, senior associate, co-authored the first article titled 'The DNSH Principle in Public Procurement: A New Approach to Sustainable Procurement.' It was published in The European Journal of Compliance and Integrity (EJ-C&I) and can be found via LexNow.io (https://www.lexnow.io/). 🌱 The article explores financing as a way to integrate sustainability into public procurement processes, emphasizing sustainability as a vital policy instrument. A key focus is the DNSH principle ("Do No Significant Harm"), which mandates that certain EU-funded projects must not significantly harm the six EU environmental objectives, driven by the EU’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The article details how compliance with the DNSH principle in public procurement can be enforced, from tender preparation through the execution of subsidized public contracts. Do not hesitate to contact our public law team, focusing on public project legal solutions, to assist you! ⚖️ #PwCLegal #PublicLaw #DNSH #Sustainability #ClimateNeutrality

⚖️ On February 19, 2024, the Antwerp Court of First Instance issued an interesting judgment concerning the #taxdeductibility of payments made by a Belgian company to suppliers located in #taxhavens. 💡 This judgment — which ruled in favor of the #taxpayer — is noteworthy for various reasons and shows that it is appropriate to be flexible towards a taxpayer who bears the #burden of proving a negative fact, that is to say, demonstrating that something did not occur. Read more about the latest contribution of our (Managing) Partners and Tax Lawyers Olivier Hermand and Patrice Delacroix today in L'Echo (in French): “La justice reconnaît la difficulté pour le contribuable de prouver un fait négatif” 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAMez438 #PwCLegal #TaxLaw #TaxCompliance

The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch DPA) issued a fine of 600k today for placing tracking cookies without consent 🔎 The website kruidvat.nl created personal profiles by tracking visitors' behaviors, purchases and locations through cookies - all without obtaining proper consent under the GDPR. ✅ The website's cookie banner featured pre-checked consent boxes and a cumbersome opt-out process. This is incompatible with a valid consent, according to the Dutch DPA. 🩺 In addition, the generated profiles contained sensitive data, since the webshop was also selling certain types of medication and pregnancy tests. ⚠️ In 2024, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch DPA) has been closely scrutinizing cookie banners and policies across various websites. Similarly, the Belgian Autorité de protection des données - Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit has issued guidelines for cookie banner implementation. The implementation of cookie banners frequently creates tension between marketing and legal departments. Moreover, the risks associated with the non-compliant banners are often overlooked or underestimated. Therefore, it's crucial to find the right balance between marketing operations and legal compliance. Any questions related to your cookies, marketing campaigns and privacy?
