54th EDPS-DPOs meeting
54th meeting of the EDPS and the Data Protection Officers of the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies at the European Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee, Brussels, 19 June 2024.
Each EU institution, body or agency (EU institutions) has appointed a data protection officer (DPO). It is the DPO's duty to ensure in an independent manner the internal application of the data protection rules applicable to the EU institution. This also involves other tasks such as ensuring that controllers and individuals (data subjects) are informed of their rights and obligations, and cooperating with the EDPS at his request or on their own initiative. A list of data protection officers can be found on the EDPS website.

Commencing 2024 on a high: the EDPS has launched the celebrations for its 20th anniversary, with numerous initiatives and actions to take place throughout the year to fuel the future of privacy. January also marked Data Protection Day, a time to delve deeper into the data protection issues and approaches to take to protect individuals, and more. This issue is also part of our podcast series, the Newsletter Digest.
To celebrate Data Protection Day (28 January), the Council of Europe (CoE), CPDP and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), are co-organising a one-day event full of keynote speeches and panel discussions on how to safeguard individuals’ rights to privacy and data protection.
The EDPS publishes the results of its survey on the role, responsibilities and tasks of data protection officers in the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies (EUIs). The outcome of the survey demonstrates a high level of awareness and compliance of EUIs with data protection officers’ advice. The press release is available here.
