Yes, but it is effectively saying that the "right to be forgotten" means that the right extends to the topic/event covered on the pages as it relates to that person not the pages themselves.

Hopefully this will not extend to all new content created about the past events and the person, because there could at times be a reason for new content on an old topic to be relevant to the public and people should be able to find it then. I fear it will however.

Not really, is just sounds like you have a legal interest in what results from searches for your name. Google is running a de-facto background search service and they're being regulated like one.
