Coordinated enforcement framework: The European Data Protection Board will select a topic for enforcement action in 2026.

Brussels, October 14th - During its plenary meeting in October, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) selected the topic for its fifth coordinated enforcement action. This action will focus on compliance with the obligations regarding transparency and information provision under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR ensures that individuals are informed when their data is being processed (articles 12, 13, and 14). This right to information is a crucial element of transparency and ensures that individuals have more control over their data. In a coordinated action, the EDPB prioritizes a specific topic, allowing national data protection authorities (DPAs) to work on it. The results of these national actions are then collected and analyzed to gain a deeper understanding of the topic and to take targeted follow-up actions at both the national and European levels, if necessary. The participating DPAs will voluntarily join this new action in the coming weeks, and the action itself is scheduled to begin in 2024.
