Welfare assistance - Parliament
Opinion of 30 April 2007 on a notification for prior checking regarding "Welfare assistance and guidance in the event of dependance" (Case 2006-269)
The European Parliament assists its staff and their families with personal and family problems, problems of dependence, and difficulties of any other type. Assistance takes the form of economic aid (aid for disabled persons, home help, loans and gifts). The institution's social services also provide individuals and families with information, advice and guidance to help them adjust better and to respond to their economic, social and cultural needs.
In order to comply with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, the Parliament must implement the recommendations of the EDPS regarding the information to be given to data subjects, data storage, the rights of access and rectification accorded to data subjects, data quality (data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive), and the transfer of data between the institution's social services and external agencies.
