Early detection and exclusion system database - EC

Prior check opinion regarding early detection and exclusion system database at the European Commission (Case 2016-0864)

The EDES-DB is the new system established by the Commission to reinforce the protection of the Union's financial interests and to ensure sound financial management. It replaced the Early Warning System and the Central Exclusion Database as of 1 January 2016. The rules governing EDES can now be found in the revised Financial Regulation for the EU institutions. The EDPS recommends establishing an explicit limited retention period for the further uses of the EDES-DB information envisaged in the notification.
