The European Data Protection Board replaces the Article 29 Working Party.
The EDPB is composed of representatives of each Member State’s data protection authority and of the European Data Protection Supervisor. Representatives of the data protection authorities of Norway, Iceland and the Liechtenstein are also members of the EDPB but these members are not entitled to vote. The European Commission has the right to participate in the activities and meetings of the EDPB without voting right.
The Chair and the two deputy chairs of the EDPB are elected by simple majority of members entitled to vote. The term of office of the Chair and deputy chairs is five years, renewable once provided that they are still head of their national data protection authority.
Anu TALUS, head of the Finnish data protection authority, was elected on 25 May 2023 as the first Chair of the EDPB.
The EDPB is located in Brussels (30 rue Montoyer) and has its own Secretariat, which is provided by the European Data Protection Supervisor. The EDPB meets monthly, during plenary sessions. Extraordinary plenary sessions can also be organised if necessary.
MissionsThe EDPB is responsible for ensuring:
The EDPB can adopt general guidelines to clarify the meaning of EU texts regarding data protection, thus providing stakeholders with a consistent interpretation of their rights and obligations. It can also adopt opinions to ensure the uniform application of the GDPR, and binding decisions to settle arguments between data protection authorities when necessary.
