Requests for a part-time work - CPVO

Opinion of 28 July 2011 on a notification for prior checking regarding requests for a part-time work at the Community Plant Variety Office (Case 2011-0299)

The purpose of the processing implemented by the CPVO is to manage the part-time applications of the CPVO staff members, allowing them to work part-time under the conditions laid down in the Staff Regulations. The processing operations were already in place at the CPVO before the EDPS was notified

In his recommendations, the EDPS requested, among others, that all persons within Human Resources who are responsible for handling part-time requests sign a declaration of confidentiality that they are subject to an obligation of professional secrecy equivalent to that of a health professional. He also asked to remind each of the recipients to only process personal data for the legitimate purpose for which they have been disclosed to them
