Opinion of 18 November 2009 on the notification for prior checking regarding the "internal mobility" dossier (Case 2009-253)

On 18 November 2009, the EDPS adopted an opinion on the notification for prior checking regarding the internal mobility procedure at the European Investment Bank (EIB).  The general purpose of the processing is to select and recruit staff for vacant posts in the EIB via internal transfer.

The EDPS took the view that the processing operation did not appear to involve any breach of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001, provided that account was taken of certain recommendations,  notably that the EIB fix an appropriate data storage period in the Psoft system; render anonymous data stored for historical, statistical or scientific purposes; explicitly remind recipients, at the time of transfer, to process the data exclusively for the purposes for which they were transmitted.  The EDPS has also requested that the data subjects be given full and easily accessible information on the processing of the data in question.
