EDPB calls for legal basis for cross‑regulatory information sharing

What happened

The European Data Protection Board urged the European Commission to create a clear legal basis for regulators to share information across competences. It highlighted the need for stronger legislation to enable confidential information exchange and improve GDPR enforcement. The Board also announced workshops and joint operations to boost cross‑border enforcement.

Why it matters for trust and compliance

• Its status is announced. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
• A legal framework for cross‑regulatory information sharing would enhance GDPR enforcement consistency and efficiency across the EU.
• It relates to GDPR. The regulations library explains what that law requires.
