Opinion of 17 October 2007 on a notification for prior checking concerning the "Financial Irregularities Panel" (Case 2007-433)
The processing operation is designed to enable the Financial Irregularities Panel to give an opinion evaluating whether a financial irregularity has occurred, and if so, how serious it is and what role was played by the persons involved in the events on which its opinion is sought and, where appropriate, what its consequences might be.
The EDPS considers that the proposed processing does not appear to be in breach of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 provided that it must be ensured that the data collected are relevant and adequate for the purpose of the referral to the Panel; that provision must be made to state that, if processing for historical, statistical or scientific use is envisaged in the future, the Panel will ensure that the data are rendered anonymous in compliance with Article 4(1)(e); and that the information notice available on the Intranet contains a clear reference to Article 11(d) (whether replies to the questions are obligatory or voluntary, as well as the possible consequences of failure to reply).
