&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">A significant decision was published by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on 8 December 2022. The decision concerns
search engine operators with respect to processing requests for dereferencing webpages and image thumbnails, along
with the burden of proof regarding the dereferencing. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The applicants are persons who are in the managing positions in in private companies. The dispute arose when three
articles focusing on corruption were published on a website criticising the companies and the applicants, along with
pictures depicting them in luxury vehicles. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The applicants requested Google to dereference these articles as they were inaccurate and lead to defamatory opinions.
Google refused the request and argued that they were unaware of the inaccuracy of the information provided in the
articles.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Subsequently, the case was brought before the European Court of Justice by the Federal Court of Justice of Germany,
requesting an interpretation on GDPR and the Directive on the Protection of Individuals with regards to the Processing
of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of Such Data.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As a preliminary point the Court of Justice referred to its previous rulings, in which it has ruled that the processes and
activities of a search engine constitute “data processing” and in this capacity, Google is a data controller. Also, in these
decisions, it was pointed out that the extent of responsibilities of the search engine do not arise from personal data
appearing on a third-party’s page. Instead, it results from internet users conducting web searches with an individual’s
name, will result with a display of a list that has the potential to significantly affect the data subject’s fundamental rights
to privacy and to the protection of the personal data.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">However, ECJ also decided that search engine operators should not be expected to actively investigate the truthfulness
ofi the request. Instead, only the “prima facia”, found it sufficient to make an evaluation by adhering to the criteria of
apparent accuracy and to remove it from the list if the condition exists. According to the Court, investigating the actual
situation in detail is a burden that ultimately falls on administrative or judicial bodies.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In the second question posed by the Federal Court of Germany, the image thumbnails are discussed. Court underlined
that images have the capacity to relay information about a person’s chief characteristics. In this manner, it finds that a
separate inquiry must be carried out about the images of a dereferencing request.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Accordingly, the Court dictates that the image dereferencing must be carried out alongside webpage dereferencing. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The European Court of Justice “inter alia” imposes a new responsibility for search engine operators with this decision.
It is stated that the search engine provider must entail information on the references of web searches if they are made
aware of any judicial proceeding taking place. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">You can reach the full text of the decision &lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;a href="https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&amp;docid=268429&amp;pageIndex=0&amp;doclang=EN&amp;mode=lst&amp;dir=&amp;occ=first&amp;part=1&amp;cid=259132" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198);">here&lt;/a>&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Denkleştirme
tazminatı, Yargıtay kararlarında “acentelik sözleşmesi sona erdikten sonra, bu
ilişkinin devamı boyunca acentenin kişisel gayretiyle yarattığı müşteri
çevresinden âkidinin halen yararlanması, acentenin ise yararlanmaması nedeniyle
uğradığı kaybın karşılığı” şeklinde tanımlanmıştır.&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[1]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret
Kanunu’nun (TTK) 122. maddesinde düzenlenen denkleştirme tazminatının
amacı, acentelik sözleşmesinin feshi nedeniyle, acentenin, belirli bir süre
pazarda faaliyette bulunacağına güvenerek yapmış olduğu reklam ve tanıtım
faaliyetleri ile pazar ve müşteri portföyü oluşturan, bu anlamda sözleşmenin
feshedilmesinden sonra dahi müvekkil firmanın yarar sağlamasına vesile olması
nedeniyle belli oranda tazminata hak kazanması suretiyle hakkaniyetin ihdas
edilmesi düşüncesidir. Bu kapsamda denkleştirme tazminatı sadece “maddi zarar”
veya “mali bir hak” olarak değerlendirilmemeli, müşteri çevresinden kaynaklanan
ve acentelik sözleşmesinin sona ermesi ile acente aleyhine oluşan durumun
giderilmesi çabası ile ilişkilendirilmelidir.&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[2]&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TTK m. 122/1 hükmü
uyarınca, sözleşme ilişkisinin sona ermesinden sonra;&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square;">&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Müvekkil,
acentenin bulduğu yeni müşteriler sayesinde, sözleşme ilişkisinin sona
ermesinden sonra da önemli menfaatler elde ediyorsa,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Acente,
sözleşme ilişkisinin sona ermesinin sonucu olarak, onun tarafından işletmeye
kazandırılmış müşterilerle yapılmış veya kısa bir süre içinde yapılacak olan
işler dolayısıyla sözleşme ilişkisi devam etmiş olsaydı elde edeceği ücret
isteme hakkını kaybediyorsa,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Somut
olayın özellik ve şartları değerlendirildiğinde, ödenmesi hakkaniyete uygun
düşüyorsa&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;/ul>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">acente,
müvekkilden uygun bir tazminat isteyebilir. TTK m. 122/4’e göre acentelik
sözleşmesi sona erdikten sonra 1 yıllık bir süre içerisinde acentenin
denkleştirme talebinde bulunması gerekmektedir. Doktrinde, bu 1 yıllık süre hak
düşürücü süre olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, denkleştirme talep hakkı
söz konusu 1 yıllık süre içinde ileri sürülmüş olmak kaydıyla Türk Borçlar
Kanunu m. 147/5 uyarınca beş yıllık zamanaşımı süresi içinde dava yoluyla da
istenebilir[3].
Ancak belirtmek gerekir ki TTK m. 122/3 hükmü uyarınca müvekkilin, feshi haklı
gösterecek bir eylemi olmadan, acente sözleşmeyi feshetmişse veya acentenin
kusuru sebebiyle sözleşme müvekkil tarafından haklı sebeplerle feshedilmişse,
acente denkleştirme isteminde bulunamaz.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TTK m. 122/4’te,
denkleştirme isteminden önceden vazgeçilemeyeceği hüküm altına alınmıştır. Buna
göre, acentelik sözleşmesinde yer alan, denkleştirme tazminatı istenemeyeceği
yönündeki hükümler, geçersiz sayılacaktır. Ancak sözleşme akdedildikten sonra
denkleştirme talebinden vazgeçilmesi, doktrinde tartışmalı olmakla birlikte hukuken
mümkündür.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Denkleştirme
miktarının belirlenmesi hususunda TTK’de doğrudan bir düzenleme bulunmamaktadır.
Bununla birlikte TTK m.122/2 hükmü uyarınca üst sınır “&lt;/span>&lt;em>Tazminat, acentenin
son beş yıllık faaliyeti sonucu aldığı yıllık komisyon veya diğer ödemelerin
ortalamasını aşamaz.&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">” şeklinde belirtilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda hâkim, üst
sınırı aşmamak kaydıyla, hakkaniyete uygun bir tazminata hükmedebilecektir.
Sözleşmenin beş yıldan daha kısa bir sürede sona ermiş olması halinde ise, bu
sürede elde edilen ücret ve diğer ödemelerin ortalaması alınarak tazminat
hesaplaması yapılmaktadır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Son olarak, TTK
125/5 hükmüne göre hakkaniyete aykırı düşmedikçe, tek satıcılık ile benzeri
diğer tekel hakkı veren sürekli sözleşme ilişkilerinin sona ermesi hâlinde de
denkleştirme tazminatının talep edilebileceği belirtilmiştir. Ancak burada
önemle belirtmek gerekir ki ilgili sözleşme ilişkisinin tarafa tekel hakkı
tanıması gerekmektedir. Örneğin tekel hakkı tanımayan bir bayilik sözleşmesine
dayanarak denkleştirme tazminatı talep edilemeyecektir.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;hr>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>[1]&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> Yargıtay 11.HD, 30.11.2017,

decisions and is defined as "the compensation for the continued benefit
arising from the customer base garnered through the personal efforts of the
agent during the agency relationship, and still enjoyed by the principal and
not by the agent after the termination of the agency agreement."&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[1]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">.&nbsp;Article 122 of the Turkish Commercial Code No.

amount of compensation consequent to the termination of the agency agreement,
due to the fact that the agent has created a market and customer portfolio through
advertising and promotional activities based on the assumption that it will
operate in the market for a certain period of time, and in this sense, has been
instrumental in the benefit enjoyed by the principal even after the termination of the
agreement. In this context, the compensation should not only be considered as
"pecuniary damage" or a "financial right", but should also be
associated with the effort to remedy the adverse situation arising from the
customer base garnered by the agent and the termination of the agency agreement
resulting in the detriment of the agency&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[2]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">According to Art. 122/1 TCC, after the termination of the contractual
relationship;&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square;">&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If the principal obtains significant benefits after
the termination of the contractual relationship, due to the new customers found
by the agent,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If, as a result of the termination of the contractual
relationship, the agent loses the right to demand remuneration for the works
already performed or to be imminently performed with the customers brought into
business by him, that he would have otherwise obtained had the contractual
relationship continued,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">If, when the facts and circumstances of the case are
evaluated, it is equitable to pay,&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;/ul>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">The agent may request a suitable compensation from the principal.
Pursuant to Article 122/4 of the TCC, the agent is required to request
compensation within a period of 1 year following the termination of the agency
agreement. This 1-year period is considered as a forfeiture period according to
the majority view. Therefore, provided that the right to demand goodwill
compensation is asserted within the above-mentioned 1-year period, it may also
be asserted through a lawsuit within the five-year statute of limitations
pursuant to Article 147/5 of the Turkish Code of Obligations (&lt;/span>&lt;strong style="font-size: 14px;">TCO&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">)&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;">[3]&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">. However, it should be
noted that, pursuant to Article 122/3 of the TCC, if the agent has terminated
the contract in the absence of any act of the principal justifying the
termination, or if the contract has been terminated by the principal with just
cause due to the fault of the agent, then the agent cannot claim goodwill
compensation.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Article 122/4 of the TCC stipulates that the compensation claim cannot
be waived in advance. Accordingly, the provisions in the agency agreement
stating that the agent may not request a goodwill compensation claim shall be
deemed invalid. However, it is legally possible to waive the goodwill
compensation claim after the conclusion of the agreement, although its validity
is subject to dispute in the doctrine.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">TCC does not contain an explicit regulation governing the determination
of the compensation amount. However, Article 122/2 of the TCC, does contain a
provision relating to the upper limit of the compensation amount stipulating
that "Compensation shall not exceed the average of the annual
commission or other payments received by the agent as a result of its
activities in the last five years." Accordingly, the judge may award
an equitable compensation, provided that it does not exceed the upper limit. If
the agreement is terminated within a period shorter than five years, the compensation
is calculated by taking the average of the fees and other payments received
during the duration of the agreement.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Lastly, pursuant to Article 125/5 of the TCC, unless it would be
contrary to principles of equity, compensation may be claimed in the event of
the termination of exclusive dealing and other similar permanent contractual
relationships granting exclusivity rights. However, it is important to note
here that the relevant contractual relationship must grant exclusivity rights
to the party. For example, goodwill compensation cannot be claimed based on a
dealership agreement that does not grant exclusivity.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;hr style="">&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>[1]&lt;/strong>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"> Yargıtay 11.HD, 30.11.2017,

Goodwill compensation has been subject to myriad Court of Cassation decisions and is defined as "the compensation for the continued benefit arising from the customer base garnered through the personal efforts of the agent during the agency relationship, and still enjoyed by the principal and not by the agent after the termination of the agency agreement."

Goodwill Compensation

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">İlk olarak on dört yıl önce Kanadalı gizlilik
komiseri Ann Cavoukian tarafından kullanılan “tasarımda gizlilik” kavramı (&lt;/span>&lt;em>Privacy
By Design – PbD&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">) artık tüketici mal ve hizmetlerinin güvenliği için küresel
bir gizlilik standardı. Uluslararası Standardizasyon Örgütü’nün (ISO) "Tüketici
mal ve hizmetleri için tasarımda gizlilik" isimli yeni standardı ISO 31700
8 Şubat 2023'te kabul edildi. Ayrıca, standartla birlikte standardın kullanım
gerekliliklerini açıklayan bir belge de yayımlandı.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Aşağıda tasarımda gizliliğin ne anlama

sistemlerinin, ürünlerin ve hizmetlerin tasarım özelliklerine ve uygulamalarına
proaktif olarak yerleştirmek için benimsenen çerçeve bir ilkedir. Temel olarak bu
ilkenin amacı, ürün ve hizmet geliştirme sürecinin her aşamasında gizlilikle ilgili
hususlarının dikkate alınmasını ve risklerin en aza indirilmesini sağlamaktır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Bu kapsamda, tasarımda gizlilik ilkesine uyum
özellikle şu sebepler dolayısıyla önem teşkil eder:&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;ul style="list-style-type: square;">&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;em style="">Kişisel

aktarılmasını sağlamaya yardımcı olur.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;em>Kişisel
veriler üzerinde kontrol:&lt;/em>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">
Tasarımda gizlilik, ilgili kişilerin kişisel verilerine erişme, bunları değiştirme
ve silme haklarına sahip olmalarını temin ederek bireylere kendi verileri
üzerinde kontrol hakkı tanır.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/li>&lt;li style="margin-left: 20px; text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;em style="">Güven

Siber Güvenlik Ajansı'nın 27 Ocak 2023 tarihli raporunda da öne çıkan bir
konuydu. Rapor, siber güvenlik teknolojilerinin ve tekniklerinin kişisel veriler
paylaşırken GDPR ilkelerinin uygulanmasını nasıl destekleyebileceğini açıklıyor.
Bu kapsamda, veri paylaşım süreçlerinde tasarımda gizlilik ilkesinin
uygulamasına yönelik teknik çözümler de raporda ortaya konulmuştu.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Rapora &lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;a href="https://www.enisa.europa.eu/news/protecting-data-can-we-engineer-data-sharing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="color: rgb(3, 102, 132);">buradan&lt;/a>&lt;/span>&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">

tüketicilerin gizlilik ile ilgili haklarını kullanmasını temin etmek üzere
ürünlerin tasarlanması, tüketicilere kişisel verileri ile ilgili aydınlatma
yapılması, gizlilik risklerinin değerlendirilmesi, risklerin tespit edilerek
belgelenmesi, ilgili kontrollerinin nasıl yapılması gerektiği ve veri ihlal
yönetimi gibi konuları düzenliyor.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Temel olarak; standart, gizliliğin ürün
tasarımından dağıtım sürecine kadar tüketici mal ve hizmetlerinin her
geliştirme aşamasında dikkate alınmasını ve korunmasını hedefliyor. Tasarımda
gizlilik ilkesine uyum aynı zamanda uluslararası çapta pek çok ülkede veri
sorumluları için yasal bir zorunluluk olduğundan, bu konuda bir standart yayımlanması
dikkate değer bir gelişme. Ann Cavoukian, bu gelişmeyi gizliliğe ilişkin "önemli
bir kilometre taşı" olarak nitelendiriyor.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">Standardın, küçük girişimlerden çok uluslu
şirketlere kadar farklı ölçekteki birçok şirket tarafından kullanılmak üzere
tasarlanmış olduğunu da belirtmek gerek. Buna ek olarak, standart her türlü tüketici
ürününe uygulanabilecek şekilde hazırlandığından şirketler tarafından yaygın
olarak benimsenmesi bekleniyor.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;">ISO’nun standart ile ilgili resmî açıklamasına

ile ilgili konularının bireyler ve şirketler için öncelik haline geldiği ve dijitalleşen
dünyamızda giderek daha da hayati bir ilke haline geldiği açıktır. Bu nedenle, tasarımda
gizlilik ile ilgili yeni ISO 31700 standardı, şirketlerin gizlilik ile ilgili
yasa ve düzenlemelere uyum sağlaması için önemli bir yol gösterici olacak.&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Recently,
        portfolio management companies (&lt;strong>PMC&lt;/strong>s) in Turkey have been growing
        rapidly in both number and volume. This rapid growth has brought with it the
        necessity to make amendments to the law on PMCs. On the sector side, it is
        believed that PMCs generally have difficulties in accessing the technical means
        and establishing the employment and organizational structure they need to
        operate more efficiently. Most PMCs suffer large losses from their capital
        until they make a profit, and therefore those that do not have enough capital
        cease their operations. We anticipate that the Communiqué Amending the
        Communiqué on Principles Regarding Portfolio Management Companies and
        Activities of Such Companies (&lt;strong>Communiqué&lt;/strong>) published in the Official
        Gazette dated February 18, 2023, may be useful in overcoming these problems.
        The most important changes brought by the Communiqué can be listed as &lt;strong>(i)&lt;/strong>
        increase of the minimum requirements for initial capital and equity capital, &lt;strong>(ii)&lt;/strong>
        establishment of service units within the company, and &lt;strong>(iii)&lt;/strong> employment
        of a set number of managers. &lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;strong>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lower
            Limit Increase for Initial and Equity Capital&lt;/span>&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Pursuant to
        art. 2 of the Communiqué, the minimum possible initial capital of a PMC has
        been increased from 6 million TRY to 30 million TRY. This lower limit was
        increased from 3 million 750 thousand TRY to 15 million TRY for PMCs with limited
        activities. As in the previous regulation, the minimum limits on equity capital
        vary according to the size of the relevant portfolio. However, with the recent
        amendment, a significant increase was made in the minimum limits of equity
        capital. Pursuant to art. 11 of the Communiqué, the minimum equity capital
        limit is set at 30 million TRY for companies with a portfolio size of up to 1
        billion TRY, while the minimum equity capital limit for companies with a
        portfolio size exceeding 36 billion TRY is regulated as 100 million TRY. This
        increase in the initial and equity capital requirements of PMCs can be
        considered a precaution regarding the current and potential resource needs and
        shortages of companies.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

        evaluated that the amendment made with the Communiqué in relation to company
        management may solve the organizational problems of PMCs to a certain extent.
        Pursuant to the relevant articles (&lt;em>art. 3 and art. 7&lt;/em>) of the Communiqué,
        a new structure has been introduced stipulating that the number of managers in
        a given PMC cannot be less than three, four, five and six, respectively, in
        proportion to the portfolio sizes set out in art. 11. In addition, pursuant to
        art. 7, in cases where portfolio managers and the fund service units are
        established within the company, the requirement for the fund manager to be
        employed exclusively and on a full-time basis is regulated. We are of the
        opinion that these new regulations will positively impact the efficiency and
        organizational structure of PMCs.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;strong>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Service
            Units to be Established within the Company &lt;/span>&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Another
        noteworthy amendment is by virtue of art. 4 and art. 6 which provides for the
        internal employment structure of research, risk management, internal control
        and service units for broadly authorized PMCs. Thus, the units that are most
        important for PMCs will be established within the company and this will
        strengthen the organizational efficiency and integrity of PMCs.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>





&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&lt;strong>&nbsp;&lt;/strong>&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;strong>&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Conclusion&lt;/span>&lt;/strong>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;&lt;br>&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many PMCs
        cannot continue to operate and cease their activities due to insufficient
        capital. Furthermore, there are financial and managerial obstacles standing
        before the development and continuity of PMCs that have commenced their
        activities without sufficient financial strength. The above-mentioned new
        regulations are aimed to strengthen PMCs in terms of management and capital.
        Thus, in the coming days, it may be possible to observe positive developments
        regarding PMCs, as they strengthen their financial and administrative
        structures by adapting to the changes brought by the Communiqué.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>

Recently, portfolio management companies in Turkey have been growing rapidly in both number and volume. This rapid growth has brought with it the necessity to make amendments to the law on PMCs.

the digital asset economy for matters relating to private law. This includes the definition of digital asset, the importance
of control, matters related to transfer of digital assets, custody relationships, conflicts of law, secured transactions, enforcement, and insolvency.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In a world where global economy is becoming increasingly digital, digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, are playing
an important role across many sectors. Therefore, Draft Principles are crucial for global economy and financial markets.&lt;/span>&lt;/p>&lt;p style="text-align: justify;">&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Currently, UNIDROIT is undertaking a public consultation in relation to the Draft Principles. As a result, feedback from
parties will be obtained regarding whether the instrument sufficiently addresses the private law issues related to digital
asset transactions. The deadline to submit comments and views is 20 February 2023.
