EDPS Comments on selected issues that arise from the IMCO report on the review of Directive 2002/22/EC (Universal Service) & Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy)
Le marché intérieur permet aux personnes, aux produits, aux services et aux capitaux de circuler librement dans l’UE, offrant de nouvelles opportunités aux citoyens, aux travailleurs, aux entreprises et aux consommateurs, tout en créant les emplois et la croissance dont l’Europe a besoin. La mise en pratique de ces libertés fondamentales au moyen de règles, notamment, sur les services de paiement, les applications logicielles pour le partage des informations (telles que le système d’information du marché intérieur IMI) implique le traitement de données à caractère personnel.

Answer to the letter of the Commission proposing a way forward towards a more complete implementation of the necessary data protection safeguards for the Internal Market Information System ("IMI"), 14 July 2008
Avis concernant la décision de la Commission du 12 décembre 2007 relative à la protection des données à caractère personnel dans le cadre de la mise en oeuvre du Système d'information du marché intérieur (IMI) (2008/49/CE), JO C 270, 25.10.2008, p. 1
Additionally, the Opinion provides for a number of suggestions on the provisions regulating the data protection aspects of IMI. These recommendations relate to transparency and proportionality, joint control and allocation of responsibilities, notice to data subjects, rights of access, objection, and rectification, data retention, security measures and joint supervision.
Letter on the proposal for a Directive amending Council Directive 91/477/EEC on the control of the acquisition and possession of weapons
Avis sur la proposition de règlement du Conseil protant sur la modification du règlement (EC) No 1290/2005 relatif au financement de la politique agricole commune (COM(2007) 122 final), JO C 134, 16.06.2007, p. 1
The aim of the proposal is to fulfil the requirement on the publication of information on beneficiaries of Community funds, as inserted into the Financial Regulation by Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1995/2006 of 13 December 2006. To that end, Member States should ensure annual ex-post publication of the beneficiaries and the amount received per beneficiary under European Funds, which form part of the budget of the European Communities.
In the opinion, the EDPS supports the inclusion of the transparency principle and underlines that a proactive approach to the rights of the data subjectsshould be respected. Moreover, the EDPS suggests introducing a specific provision, which would help to comply with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, as regards the need to inform data subjects about the processing of their personal data by auditing and investigating institutions and bodies.
