Clearer rules for cross-border data protection enforcement (GDPR)
The MEPs say the current practice is not ideal - different national data protection authorities (DPAs) proceed with investigations in different ways, processes drag on and complainants wait years. The new reform proposes common procedures across the EU to make actions and investigations into cross-border data processing faster and more consistent.
The aim is to reduce complaint investigations to a reasonable time. The lead authority is to have 15 months to complete a case, with the possibility of an extension of a further 12 months for more complex cases. For simpler cases, the limit is 12 months. The law also introduces a "simplified cooperation procedure", which will allow for a quick resolution if other authorities do not oppose and the case is clearly defined.
Complainants themselves will also now have greater rights - they can be heard before a decision is taken and have easier access to information about the progress of their case.
