Basically EU (finally!) coming up with some formal regulations for how companies can manage you and your privacy data. With some serious fines for non-compliance.

Because businesses has shown us that the market does in no way lead to self-regulation, but rather the opposite.

I fully support it.

The EU already had regulations, in the form of the Data Protection Directive from 1995. The GDPR improves and expands on it.
