The EDPB and the individual Supervisory Authorities (SAs) contributed to the evaluation and review of the Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive (LED), carried out by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 62 LED. The LED aims to provide a harmonised level of data protection for individuals in the area of law enforcement across the EU.

The past four years have been characterised primarily by the national processes to transpose the Directive. Because of its recent implementation, there is limited experience and empirical data on some parts of the LED. Therefore, the EDPB is of the opinion that it is too early to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the LED or to consider its revision.
The EDPB strongly urges those Member States still in the phase of the implementation to invest all means possible to ensure that the transposition is fully compliant with the LED without any further delays.

In its contribution, the EDPB reaffirms its commitment to continue providing guidance on the interpretation of the LED. In addition, the EDPB remains committed to providing independent assessments of future draft adequacy decisions, elaborated by the European Commission, with regard to the requirements of LED, especially enforceable rights, effective redress and safeguards concerning onward transfers.

The EDPB stresses that the effective implementation of the tasks under the LED requires the availability of the necessary resources, both human and technical, and calls on the Member States to ensure that the resources of SAs increase in proportion to their workload.

As part of the implementation of the EDPB 2021-2023 strategy and following the establishment of a Support Pool of Experts (SPE), the EDPB has now agreed on the SPE’s project plan. The SPE aims to provide material support to EDPB Members in the form of expertise that is useful for investigations and enforcement activities and to enhance cooperation and solidarity between EDPB Members by sharing, reinforcing and complementing strengths, and addressing operational needs.

The EDPB adopted a reply to MEP Ujhelyi on hacking spyware Pegasus. In its reply, the EDPB highlights that the Board and its Members pay, and will continue to pay, particular attention to the current developments related to the interferences with the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection through surveillance measures. The EDPB adds that protection of journalists and their sources is a cornerstone of the freedom of the press. The EDPB is competent in the matter of the alleged use of the Pegasus software mainly if and as far as it is deployed for purposes under the GDPR and the LED. The EDPB, however, notes that according to the applicable Union law, it does not have the same competences, tasks and powers as national SAs, and that concerning the particular case at stake, the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information has competency to carry out the investigation procedure regarding the alleged use of spyware by Hungarian authorities. The EDPB remains ready to support all members of the EDPB in such matters.
Following public consultation, the EDPB adopted a final version of the Guidelines on examples regarding data breach notifications. These guidelines complement the Article 29 Working Party guidance on data breach notification by introducing more practice orientated guidance and recommendations. They aim to help data controllers in deciding how to handle data breaches and what factors to consider during risk assessment. Following public consultation, the Guidelines were updated to reflect comments received.

IMY:s generaldirektör blickar tillbaka på ett händelserikt år med allt från namnbyte och särskilt uppdrag från regeringen till vårt första rättsliga ställningstagande och en lyckad och uppskattad konferens för dataskyddsombud.

Uppdatering klockan 17.55: Meddelandet gäller inte längre.

Tillsyn enligt dataskyddsförordningen. Beslut 2024-12-18.

Nu har vi publicerat ett rättsligt ställningstagande om uppgifter om lagöverträdelser. Detta ställningstagande är styrande för myndighetens tolkning av artikel 10 och vägledande för bland annat verksamheter som tillämpar dataskyddsförordningen. Vår målsättning är att ta fram fler rättsliga ställningstagande i olika dataskyddsfrågor.

IMYRS 2021:1

Inom ramen för vårt uppdrag att ge bättre stöd till innovationsaktörer anordnade vi förra veckan en forskarhearing på temat inbyggt dataskydd, tekniker och lösningar som har stor potential att bidra till en mer integritetssäker hantering av data.

Regeringen och Folkhälsomyndigheten har presenterat nya åtgärder för att minska spridningen av covid-19. Bland annat införs rekommendation om munskydd vid trängsel i kollektivtrafiken.

29 November 2021 - Vice-President Margaritis Schinas, Commissioner for Promoting our European Way of Life, hosted the EuroChanukah celebration in the European Commission by lighting the third Chanukah candle. He talked about the importance of fostering Jewish life in the EU with European Jewish communities, Commission colleagues and citizens.

2 December 2021 - Ursula von der Leyen celebrated the Chanukah by lighting the candle of the Chanukia in the heart of the European quarter in Brussels, Schuman square, marking the sixth day of the Jewish festival of lights.

Folkhälsomyndigheten har tagit fram förslag på nya åtgärder för att bromsa smittspridningen av covid-19 och minska belastningen på sjukvården. Den viktigaste åtgärden är ökad vaccinationstäckning. Vaccinationstäckningen behöver öka bland individer som är 50 år och yngre för att bromsa den ökning av smittspridning som ses i flera regioner.

Alla som har varit utanför Norden under de senaste sju dagarna bör PCR-testa sig för infektion av covid-19 så snart som möjligt efter hemkomst. Det skriver Folkhälsomyndigheten på sin webbplats. Dessutom gäller särskilda rekommendationer för dig som har besökt vissa länder i södra Afrika. Anledning är att omikron, den nya virusvarianten av SARS-CoV-2, upptäcks i allt fler länder.

Uppdatering 2/12 kl 10.30: En orange varning har utfärdats för Gotland för vind i kombination med snöfall. Vädret kan ge upphov till störningar i trafiken under torsdagen.

Innovatörer som utvecklar nya tjänster som baseras på exempelvis AI måste ta med integritetsaspekterna i sitt arbete, gärna så tidigt som möjligt. IMY har fått ett särskilt uppdrag av regeringen att bistå innovationsaktörer med kunskap om data- och integritetsskydd.

Deadline: March 2022

Deadline: 24/03/2022

Deadline: 24/02/2022

Folkhälsomyndigheten uppdaterar rekommendationerna vid inresa från en rad länder i södra Afrika. Det på grund av en ny variant av coronaviruset. Världshälsoorganisationen WHO har döpt den nya varianten till omikron och klassat den som en variant av särskild betydelse.

Folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenderar att alla mellan 18 och 65 år ska erbjudas en tredje dos med vaccin. Påfyllnadsdosen ska ges enligt en särskild prioritetsordning.

During its November plenary, the EDPB adopted a letter in reply to the UN concerning transfers to international organisations. In the letter, the EDPB welcomes the UN’s continuous participation in the Task Force on transfers to international organisations established by the European Data Protection Supervisor. The EDPB also renews its commitment to engage further with the UN on the shared mission of protecting human rights, including the right to privacy.

The EDPB also adopted a letter to ENISA concerning the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud Services’ (EUCS) compatibility with Schrems II. In the letter, the EDPB reiterates its stance from its May 19 letter to ENISA that the final certification scheme should be consistent with the obligations laid down in the GDPR and should facilitate the compliance of cloud service providers and their clients with the GDPR, also considering the Schrems II ruling.
