Generate, manage, and customize templated responses for routine legal inquiries under EU law — data subject requests (DSRs under EU GDPR), litigation holds, privacy inquiries, vendor questions, NDA requests, legal process (European Investigation Orders, court orders, Member State mechanisms), and insurance notifications. Use when responding to routine legal questions governed by EU law, managing response template libraries for EU operations, creating new templates, or identifying when a situation requires individualized counsel attention rather than a templated response. Covers the EU GDPR framework (Regulation 2016/679) with Member State variation markers where national law diverges. Includes escalation trigger detection, quality frameworks, and audit trails.

This skill helps in-house legal teams operating in the European Union manage, customize, and generate templated responses for common legal inquiries governed by EU law. It identifies when a situation should NOT use a templated response and instead requires individualized attention from qualified counsel. This is the EU-specific variant of `legalcode-canned-responses`. It replaces jurisdiction-agnostic markers with hardcoded EU law references. Where Member State law varies (procedural rules, employment law, criminal law, insurance law, privilege), it uses `[MEMBER STATE]` markers with guidance on what to verify locally. **Covers:** - Template generation for 7 core response categories under EU law - Escalation trigger detection (universal and category-specific, EU-adapted) - Template creation, lifecycle management, and retirement workflows - Customization guidelines for tone, jurisdiction, and audience - Quality assurance frameworks with audit trails and variable validation - Member State variation guidance where EU-level harmonization is incomplete **Does not:** - Provide legal advice or final legal opinions - Replace counsel review for regulated or high-stakes communications - Generate responses for novel or unprecedented situations - Handle matters involving potential litigation without escalation - Operate as a document management system (integrates with, does not replace) - Cover UK GDPR — use `legalcode-canned-responses-uk` for the United Kingdom ...
