Essential points
THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS
- welcomes the proposals for a reform of European data protection law as a contribution by the European Union to the global debate on adequately protecting privacy in a digital world;
- considers it imperative that key questions surrounding protection of personal data be resolved as part of the proper legislative process, so as to ensure transparency and democratic legitimacy through the full involvement of the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament and representatives of European LRAs;
- notes that notwithstanding the unresolved issues of compliance of the regulation's underlying concept with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, certain detailed rules also place additional undue limits on national legislation on data processing by public bodies in the Member States;
- further considers that the proposed regulation should give greater decision-making scope to the Member States and, where appropriate, to the regions, so that, in accordance with domestic law, it regulates the general conditions applicable to members of the supervisory authority to ensure they are able to perform their duties independently.
