European Parliament votes in favour of GDPR additional procedural rules. I wrote a few months ago about the concerns I have with the GDPR Procedural Regulation (GPR), highlighting its potential for abuse regarding the scope of complaints – see input here: https://lnkd.in/ef527U3N
Today, the European Parliament just voted in favour of this unfortunately flawed piece of legislation.
What does it mean in practice?
Less room to take into account the rights of defence of controllers/processors, lack of clarity regarding the possibility for regulators to change the scope of their investigation, etc. It’s not going to be great, and I expect that procedural arguments will be used rapidly in cases to which the new rules apply.
There is some good in the GPR, but there are many risks, and I hope regulators will not misuse the lack of clarity in order to harm the rights of defence of controllers and processors.
