Cross-border investigations

On February 20, 2023, the European Commission launched an initiative to further specify procedural aspects relating to the enforcement of the GDPR (“ procedural initiative”). The aim of the procedural initiative is to clarify the administrative procedure that applies in cross-border investigations and enforcement under the GDPR. These rules are expected to clarify and complement the existing rules on cooperation and dispute resolution under GDPR Articles 60 and 65.

This procedural initiative was announced in the Commission’s work program for 2023, and the text of the proposal is not yet available. The European Commission is expecting to publish a draft regulation on procedural rules relating to the enforcement of the GDPR in Q2 2023.Continue Reading European Commission Plans to Improve Cooperation Between Supervisory Authorities in Cross-Border GDPR Cases
