Mission & Interests
Goals: The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) marks a milestone in data protection and is used as a blueprint for similar pieces of legislation across the globe. In view of the GDPR’s impact, the representation of the interests of the EFDPO members, which are national associations of data protection officers (DPOs), at the European level is becoming increasingly important.
The EFDPO's objectives are:
- to create a European network of national associations to exchange information, experience and methods;
- a continuous dialogue with the political sphere, business representatives and civil society to ensure a flow of information from the European to the national level;
- to proactively monitor, evaluate and shape the implementation of the GDPR and other European privacy legal acts;
- to keep the existing rules for DPOs as a minimum objective;
- to promote high qualification standards for DPOs and improve the quality of training and professional practice.
