a) The problem with this is that this practical guide was released in November 29, 2017. And this is unofficial. EU should have released a practical guide two years ago in my opinion.

If the process is gradual the law should reflect that.

c) Good to hear :). Apparently it's this: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da... - I hope it's not written from the perspective of the UK legislation.

d) The law should clearly define what is required for smaller companies and what is not. There's some disagreement if this is the case in GDPR articles too.

Every country has a slightly different implementation of the directive, so I don't think the EU will have a single example to give.

However, GDPR is a regulation, not a directive. I haven't seen that countries pass their own implementation of it.

Each country-specific privacy org gets leeway around rules like legitimate interest.
