Blogpost: Celebrating Schuman Day – Young Voices Speak for Europe
Every year at the EDPS, we celebrate Europe Day, the achievements and opportunities it made possible to Europeans. Honouring the legacy of those who advanced the European project is as important as looking ahead and listening to the generations that will shape its future. EDPS Supervisor has therefore asked them about how the EU has impacted their lives and what it means to be European today.
Simplification of record-keeping obligation: EDPB and EDPS adopt letter to EU Commission
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted a letter, addressed to the European Commission, on the upcoming proposal on the simplification of record-keeping obligation under the GDPR, amounting to a targeted amendment of Art. 30(5) GDPR.
The joint letter replies to the letter sent by the European Commission to the EDPB and the EDPS on 6 May 2025 where the Commission explained how it intends to introduce specific modifications to the GDPR. The EDPB and EDPS understand that a formal consultation will take place after the publication of the proposed legislative change.
The EDPB and EDPS shared that, at this stage, they could express preliminary support to this targeted simplification initiative, bearing in mind that this would not affect the obligation of controllers and processors to comply with other GDPR obligations. Nevertheless, the EDPB and EDPS asked the Commission to better evaluate the impact on the organisation subject to this change, to assess whether the draft proposal ensure a proportionate and fair balance between the protection of personal data and the interests of organisations with less than 500 employees.
