Positive results of the GDPR and request for support from the EDPB

The European data protection watchdog, known as the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), has spoken out in favor of the results achieved by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in recent years, underlining how it has contributed to sovereignty digital and privacy protection. However, the EDPB is calling for greater investment in resources, which are essential to meet the complex future challenges that digital poses to personal data.

EDPB, crucial role in privacy regulation

The role of the EDPB proves fundamental in ensuring the homogeneous application of the GDPR among member states. Its coordination function between national supervisory authorities is essential to guarantee uniform interpretation and application coherence, limiting potential inconsistencies in privacy management and data protection through transnational dialogue.

GDPR and the need for harmonization

Within the European data framework, security incidents affecting multiple jurisdictions highlight the essentiality of a coordinated response and harmonized procedures. Faced with these large-scale data breaches, the EDPB calls for the adoption of dedicated procedural regulations, thus facilitating streamlined, cross-border GDPR enforcement. This is vital to maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the Regulation in the context of constantly evolving economic and technological scenarios.

Future challenges and the role of GDPR in digital

As the European Union moves forward to create a secure and competitive digital space, through initiatives such as the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA), the EDPB's workload increases, but not at the same rate as the resources available. The same efficiency in managing new regulations and responsibilities depends on the ability of the EDPB and national authorities to count on adequate resources and support to respect the commitments made towards European citizens.
