Irish Data Protection Commission head Helen Dixon cancelled her participation in a European Parliament LIBE Committee hearing scheduled for 18 March 2021 after demanding to be heard alone. The hearing was intended to discuss EU‑US data transfers and criticism of the DPC's enforcement of the GDPR. The Parliament and other DPAs called for an infringement procedure against Ireland for not properly enforcing the GDPR.
Why it matters: The cancellation underscores ongoing tensions between the Irish DPC and EU institutions over GDPR enforcement of transatlantic data transfers.
