0:00.0	Welcome to In Conversation, the regular podcast of E-sharp magazine. Go to e-sharp.E.U for full access to all our podcast to date. This is Paul Adamson. I'm in conversation with Giovanni Boutarelli.
0:19.0	Giovanni Bouturelli is the European Data Protection Supervisor.
0:22.6	Giovanni, I thought we'd construct this little conversation of ours in three parts.
0:26.6	First of all, the implementation of GDPR six months after it became law.
0:32.6	Secondly, the role of data in this new data economy that everybody talks about
