In its October plenary session on 8-9 October 2024, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted a statement on the draft regulation for new procedural rules concerning the enforcement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The statement on the new harmonisation law acknowledges the changes put forth by the European Parliament and the Council and highlights the need for further adjustments to enhance cooperation among authorities and strengthen GDPR enforcement. The EDPB also provides practical recommendations for consideration during the upcoming trilogues, focusing on the establishment of a legal basis and standardised procedure for amicable settlements, realistic deadlines, and the removal of certain provisions related to dispute resolution. In addition, the statement addresses the challenges associated with the proposed introduction of a joint case file and stresses the importance of carefully assessing technical solutions for its implementation. Furthermore, it welcomes the Council's amendment allowing the lead Data Protection Authority (DPA) to opt-out from enhanced cooperation in certain cases while underlining the need to clarify the scope of this opt-out.
