The European Commission seeks to combat longstanding issues under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding cross-border cases with new proposed rules.
The GDPR Procedural Regulation, announced Tuesday, would not alter the GDPR but serve as a compliment to the landmark data privacy legislation, helping to establish clearer guidelines around the law’s “one-stop shop” mechanism. Under the one-stop shop, cross-border cases against companies are led by the relevant data protection authority (DPA) in the region in which the business is headquartered.
The mechanism has led to criticism and disagreement between EU DPAs, most notably regarding Ireland’s policing of Big Tech giants including Meta, Google, and Twitter.
