Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"As of 2018, the GDPR is supposed to ensure that Europeans enjoy privacy rights throughout the entire EU. However, when people's rights are violated by companies based in another EU/EEA Member State, complaints are dealt with through a complex "cooperation mechanism" between the Data Protection Authority (DPA) in the users' Member State and the DPA in the company's Member State. This enforcement mechanism is at the core of the generally acknowledged enforcement failure of the GDPR. Complaints get lost, decisions take years and there is virtually no possibility to act against inactive DPAs. The EU has ventured to solve this through a "GDPR Procedural Regulation". But it becomes clear now, that it is about to fail miserably. The final so-called “trilogue” negotiations between the European Parliament, the Member States and the European Commission has led to a legislative mess that will likely make procedures more complex, slower and prone to legal challenges. noyb has been closely following the dossier and is now issuing a public warning. The file needs intensive additional work. The current approach seems to make things worse overall."</p><p><a href="https://noyb.eu/en/eu-pledged-improve-gdpr-cooperation-and-made-it-worse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">noyb.eu/en/eu-pledged-improve-</span><span class="invisible">gdpr-cooperation-and-made-it-worse</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a></p>
