This paper offers a comparative overview of the national provisions defining the reach of the laws adopted by Member States on the basis of the opening clauses enshrined in the GDPR. It identifies the lack of coordination among the Member States' complementing laws as a major hindrance to the proper functioning of the internal digital market, due to the paramount problems of over and under regulation, and increased tential /or forum and law shopping stemming from the existing legislative framework. Against this backdrop, this paper submits that existing national rules of applicability may be deemed contrary to EU law, and should be interpreted, to the extent possible, "in conformity" with the wording and the purpose of the GDPR. In this vein the scheme and objectives of the GDPR, should be directly applied.
