Regulation 2018/1725

EDPS comments on the European Commission's draft decision laying down internal rules concerning the provision of information to data subjects and the restriction of certain of their rights in the context of processing of personal data by the Commission when handling requests and complaints under the Staff Regulations (2021-0758)

This EDPS Opinion relates to the status of staff members who are processing personal data as confidential counsellors in the context of informal anti-harassment procedures at the Committee of the Regions (Case 2021-0430).

The year 2020 was unique for the world and, by extension, for the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). Like many other organisations, the EDPS had to adapt its working methods as an employer, but also its work since the COVID-19 health crisis strengthened the call for the protection of individuals' privacy. 

This Annual Report provides an insight into all EDPS activities in 2020.
