The Commissioner’s Office participates in the EDPB’s coordinated action with regard to the role of Data protection Officers (DPOs)

Nicosia, on 15^th March 2023, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) launched its second coordinated action with regard to the appointment and the role of Data protection Officers (DPOs). The aim of this initiative is to collect information on practices followed in Member States and the evaluation of compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.

In the frame of this initiative, the Office will forward a relevant questionnaire* prepared by the EDPB, to DPOs both in the public and the private sector. The replies will be evaluated and sent to the EDPB, for deciding the next steps, both at national and at European level.
