Opinion of 1 April 2008 on a notification for prior checking on part time requests (Case 2007-500)
The European Medicines Agency (EMEA) manages part-time applications of the staff. The data processing operations are both automated and manual. A staff member fills in a form which is collected in hard copies and subsequently the data of each staff member are entered in the COMPEL Database. Data subjects include temporary and contractual agents at the EMEA. In exceptional circumstances, the family members of staff can also be concerned.

The EDPS has issued an opinion concerning part time requests in EMEA. The EDPS concludes that on a general basis the procedure complies with the principles established in the data protection regulation. However the EDPS did make some recommendations mainly as concerns the need to modify the "Personal Data Access Request Form", to amend the information provided in the data protection declaration as well as to remind all EMEA internal recipients of their obligation not to use the data for any further purpose beyond the purposes communicated to the data subjects.
