EU's draft GDPR Procedural Regulation faces criticism for increasing complexity

The European Commission has introduced a draft GDPR Procedural Regulation to improve cross‑border DPA cooperation. The proposal is currently in trilogue negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council. Critics argue the draft will make procedures more complex, slower and increase legal uncertainty.

Why it matters: If adopted, the new regulation could hinder effective GDPR enforcement across the EU.
