"the "previous form" where the UK had some of the strongest DP rules in Europe"

When was that? The 1998 DPA implementation of the European Directive was so awful that the European Commission would not even divulge the issues to avoid “prejudice to international relations”" [ref amberhawk as linked above].

And it was far from alone in being deficient, which is precisely why the Regulation was created to replace the Directive - to eliminate the ambiguity resulting from divergent interpretations across member states.
