IIC European Telecommunications & Media Forum 2024

Has the GDPR been a success? Does it need to be reformed? How about enforcement in cross-border cases? In 2024 the Commission will publish its second evaluation of the GDPR and addressed these questions. Meanwhile, the European Data Protection Board, which gathers the data protection authorities of the 27 Member States, has signalled that the GDPR has been a success and does not need to reformed. However, as early as 2022, the EDPB identified some inefficiencies in dealing with cross-border cases which resulted in the European Commission proposing a Regulation on procedural rules related to the GDPR enforcement to foster effective enforcement of data protection rules. The Proposal is making its way through the legislative process.

Partner Rosa Barcelo discusses these issues and more, in conversation with Isabelle Vereecken, Head of Secretariat, European Data Protection Board (EDPB).
