Last year, the EDPS worked on a huge variety of topics. Among other high-profile activities, we contributed to debates on EU border policy, including proposals on the interoperability of large-scale IT systems , ECRIS and ETIAS , and provided guidance to policymakers through the publication of a necessity toolkit . A look back at our monthly Newsletter, however, provides an insight into some of our less high-profile activities. In the January 2018 edition of the EDPS Newsletter, we look back at 2017 and recap ten things you might have missed.
