Coordinated Supervision Committee extends scope to include Eurodac. Brussels, 12 June – As of today, coordinated supervision of the European Union’s asylum and migration database (Eurodac) will be carried out by the Coordinated Supervision Committee (CSC). Eurodac is an information system initially designed to compare the fingerprints of asylum applicants and irregular migrants, which has evolved into a full asylum and migration management system. It plays a key role in implementing the Dublin III Regulation, which aims at determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application.
Operational since 15 January 2003, this system is currently used by all EU Member States as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. National DPAs supervise the processing of personal data by national authorities and its transmission to the Eurodac database (central unit), whereas the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) is responsible for the supervision of the processing of personal data at the central unit and its transmission to the Member States. Coordinated supervision will now be ensured by the CSC, comprising representatives from the national DPAs and the EDPS.
Background
The CSC is a group of DPAs, which together ensure coordinated supervision of large-scale IT systems, and of EU bodies, offices and agencies falling under its scope.
The CSC enjoys an autonomous functioning and positioning, and it adopts its own rules of procedure and working methods. The Committee is established within the framework of the EDPB and the EDPB Secretariat provides the Secretariat of the CSC.

Controller: LTL S.p.A.
Legal Reference(s): Article 5 (Principles relating to processing of personal data), Article 12 (Transparent information, communication and modalities for the exercise of the rights of the data subject), Article 15 (Right to access by the data subject)
Decision: Administrative fine, Compliance order, Erasure order or Add here your free text for the decision
Key words: Administrative fine, Principles relating to processing of personal data, Transparency,
Right of access, Employment, Data subject rights
Summary of the Decision
Origin of the case
In a complaint submitted to the Italian Supervisory Authority (SA), an individual complained that, after receiving a disciplinary letter followed by dismissal, the company had denied him access to his company' email account, which remained active. Exercising his rights, the data subject asked the company to disable the email account, forward any messages received in the meantime to his personal email address, and activate an automatic reply informing any senders of his new email address. However, this request remained unfulfilled, even though it was formulated in compliance with the GDPR.
Key Findings
During the investigation, the Italian SA found that the company not only continued to receive emails addressed to the employee, but also forwarded them to another company email account. This unlawful practice had been going on for about two months, exceeding the 30-day limit set by the company's internal rules.
Decision
The Italian SA fined the company 40 000 EUR.
In determining the amount of the fine, the SA took into account the type and duration of the violations, the failure to respond to the employee's request to exerci...

Equitable resource allocation in health emergencies: addressing racial disparities and ethical dilemmas. This paper explores resource allocation complexities during health emergencies, focusing on pervasive racial disparities, notably affecting black communities. It aims to investigate alternatives to the Most Lives Saved approach, particularly its potential to exacerbate disparities. To analyse resource allocation strategies, the essay reviews the Dual-Principled System proposed by Bruce and Tallman (B+T) in 2021. B+T’s proposal critiques previous methods like the Area Deprivation Index and First Come First Serve while seeking to balance equity and utility by adjusting triage scores based on diseases displaying racial disparities. However, the study identifies inherent challenges in subjectivity, complexity and fairness, necessitating a careful examination and potential innovative solutions. The examination of the Dual-Principled System uncovers challenges, leading to the identification of three main issues and potential solutions. Furthermore, to address subjectivity concerns, it is necessary to adopt objective disease selection criteria through data analysis. Moreover, proposed solutions for complexity include real-time data updates, adaptability and regional considerations. Fairness concerns can be mitigated through educational campaigns and a lottery system integrated with triage score adjustments. The study emphasises nuanced resource allocation with objective disease selection, adaptable strategies and educational initiatives, including a lottery system, aligning with fairness, equity and practicality. As healthcare evolves, resource allocation must align with justice, fostering inclusivity and responsiveness for all.

EDPB meets with EU Commissioner McGrath and adopts common data breach notification template. Brussels, 10 June – During its latest plenary, the EDPB met with Michael McGrath, Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection. In addition, the Board has adopted a common data breach notification template.
The Board held a meeting with Commissioner McGrath, engaging in a fruitful discussion about common priorities and ongoing work on areas of mutual interest.
The Digital Omnibus was among the key topics that shaped the discussion. The Board reiterated that, while several proposed changes have been welcomed by the Board, it is crucial not to adopt the proposed amendments to the definition of personal data, as they risk significantly weakening individual data protection.
“The digital ecosystems we regulate are dynamic, multilayered, and evolving at unprecedented pace. In an increasingly digital and competitive world, the EDPB supports simplification, but never at the expense of fundamental rights.
Promoting a human-centric approach to digital regulation—one that balances innovation with dignity, growth with rights, and efficiency with trust, remains central to our mission.”
EDPB Chair, Anu Talus
The importance of cross-regulatory cooperation was another central theme of the discussion. Commissioner McGrath and the Board explored ways to further strengthen this cooperation and enhance their ability to collaborate effectively within the evolving digital landscape.
The meeting was also an opportunity to exchange on other critically important areas of common interest, including the protection of children. The EDPB is currently working on guidelines on processing children’s data. This week, EDPB representatives also took part in a meeting with the Co-Chairs of the Special Panel on Child Safety Online organised by the European Commission.

Marking 10 years of the GDPR: the evolution of the European data protection landscape. Brussels, 27 April – Today marks the 10th anniversary of the GDPR’s adoption, the first comprehensive data protection framework spanning an entire continent, establishing clear rights for individuals and obligations for organisations across Europe.
The moment that led to the creation of the EDPB
The GDPR led to the establishment of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) on 25 May 2018, replacing the Article 29 Working Party that was previously in charge of dealing with issues relating to the protection of personal data.
The GDPR gave the Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) stronger enforcement powers and expanded the scope of their work from focusing mainly on national compliance complaints to routinely dealing with cross-border cases.
In the past 10 years, the 31 European DPAs comprising the EDPB have worked together to ensure the consistent enforcement of the GDPR and a harmonised data protection approach across Europe.
A key role in an evolving digital landscape
Today, the GDPR is part of a broader and evolving European digital framework, alongside other digital laws such as the Digital Services Act, the Digital Markets Act, and the AI Act. In a world shaped by artificial intelligence, platform economies, and increasing data-driven innovation, the GDPR ensures that technological progress goes hand in hand with the protection of individuals’ fundamental rights.
An inspiration for the rest of the world
The impact of the GDPR has extended far beyond Europe’s borders, inspiring similar frameworks across the globe and contributing to a growing international recognition of privacy as a fundamental right.

Have you ever wondered what the data protection landscape looked lik...

EDPB brings clarity to data processing for scientific research, speeds up the finalisation of the anonymisation guidelines and approves first European data protection seal as a tool for transfers . Brussels, 16 April – During its latest plenary, the EDPB has adopted Guidelines on processing of personal data for scientific research purposes. In addition, the Board has created a team to speed up the finalisation of the guidelines on anonymisation. The EDPB has also adopted two opinions on the two sets of the Europrivacy certification criteria for approval as European Data Protection Seals, one of which to be used as a tool for transfers.
Many areas of scientific research rely on the processing of individuals’ personal data, and this has driven significant scientific breakthroughs that benefit society. The rise of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, also contributes to scientific progress by enabling researchers to use and analyse data in innovative ways.
The main objective of the EDPB guidelines on scientific research is to provide more clarity for researchers and make GDPR compliance easier, while ensuring the protection of individuals’ fundamental rights.
“Scientific research can drive societal progress and improve our daily lives.

NL-context Nieuwe Europese sjabloon voor Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA's) helpt zorginstellingen bij gebruik van AI-systemen om persoonsgegevens te beschermen.
Enhancing compliance and consistency: EDPB adopts DPIA template. Brussels, 14 April - In line with the EDPB’s Helsinki Statement to make GDPR compliance easier and strengthen consistency across Europe, the EDPB has adopted a template for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA). The template will help organisations structure, harmonise and evidence their DPIA reporting processes. The template is complemented by an explainer document providing concise explanations for completing this template effectively, by breaking down key concepts in a simple language and addressing possible questions and knowledge gaps controllers might have.
A DPIA is a process required in situations where the processing is likely to result in a high risk, to describe how personal data will be processed, assess whether the processing is necessary and appropriate, and identify and reduce risks to individuals’ rights and freedoms. The EDPB template has been conceived to support organisations step by step in this process while filling the template.
Controllers can conduct their risk analysis and management processes as they prefer, using the DPIA methodology of their choice. While it is not mandatory for organisations to use the EDPB template, it allows them to benefit from predefined fields that prompt complete and structured responses. This will help ensure that all necessary information is captured accurately while minimising the risk of errors and saving time.
The template will be subject to public consultation until 9 June, providing stakeholders with the opportunity to comment and provide feedback. Following the public consultation, all Data Protection Authorities will initiate the necessary steps to adopt this template either as their sole standard or as a ‘meta-template’ to which national-specific templates will align. In the meantime, organisations are en...

Building a Coherent Go-To-Market Strategy for Digital Health Solutions: A Q&A with ZS Associates’ Vijesh Unnikrishnan and Dan MacLeod. Digital health has been a promising, growing space over the past decade. And with the pandemic putting new demands on the healthcare system, demand for digitally-enabled care and services spiked overnight. Even as a light has emerged at the end of the pandemic tunnel, momentum toward digital health shows no signs of slowing down. Over $14B was invested across 2020 in private US digital health companies, a number likely to be dwarfed by 2021 investment, with $6.7B already put to work in Q1 2021. With plenty of funding in tow, more companies are on their way to advancing the promise of digital transformation and achieving meaningful scale.

EDPB and EDPS support harmonisation of clinical trials under European Biotech Act, but call for specific safeguards for sensitive health data. Brussels, 12 March 2026 – The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted a Joint Opinion on the European Commission’s Proposal for a European Biotech Act. The Proposal aims to strengthen Europe’s biotechnology and biomanufacturing sectors, particularly in the area of health, by streamlining the regulatory framework and updating the rules for clinical trials.
The EDPB and the EDPS support the Proposal’s objective of fostering the EU’s competitiveness and addressing existing fragmentation in the application of the Clinical Trials Regulation (CTR). In particular, they welcome the aim to establish a single legal basis for the processing of personal data by sponsors and investigators, which will significantly improve legal clarity across Europe.
At the same time, the EDPB and the EDPS underline that the sensitivity of health and genetic data processed in the context of clinical trials requires a high standard of protection. The Joint Opinion provides several recommendations to ensure that the proposed simplifications do not lower the level of protection for clinical trial participants.
Key recommendations include:
Clarifying controller roles: The Proposal should specify whether the actors involved in funding and conducting clinical trials act as sole or joint data controllers, to ensure a clear allocation of responsibilities.
Limiting data retention: The mandatory 25-year minimum retention period should expressly apply only to the clinical trial master file, rather than to all personal data processed during a trial.
Further processing for other clinical trials or for scientific research: As the Proposal aims to provide a legal basis under Union law for the further processing of trial data by the same controller, the ...
