>> (this law is subject to unique interpretations in 28 distinct countries, so nobody can actually know what "full" compliance is)

As has been discussed before, the GDPR is an EU regulation and as such does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation and is directly binding and applicable, therefore it is is not subject to "unique interpretation" of any kind. In fact, that was the whole point of making it a regulation, rather than a directive (like the previous Data Protection Directive).

Furthermore, the regulation establishes a European Data Protection Board, tasked with ensuring the consistent application of the GDPR. Articles 55 to 63 of the regulation are devoted to cooperation and consistency, with procedures for multiple Data Protection Authoritiess to coordinate investigations and promote consistent decisions and policies reviewed by the Board and reported to the European Commission.

Now, can we please stop it with the entirely unsubstantiated statements about how everyone will interpret the GDPR as they please?

Seeing as the EU passes retroactive laws which make things that used to be perfectly legal all of a sudden illegal and subject to huge fines - I would say your viewpoint of one unifying interpretation of GDPR that companies can rely on is extremely naive.

When has that happened?
