Overview
The Multistakeholder Expert Group to support the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 has been established in 2017 to assist the Commission in identifying the potential challenges in the application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) from the perspective of different stakeholders, and to advise the Commission on how to address them.
It also provides the Commission with advice to achieve an appropriate level of awareness about the new legislation among different stakeholders, including business and citizens.
Finally, the group is tasked to provide the Commission with advice and expertise in relation to the preparation of delegated acts and, where appropriate and necessary, the early preparation of implementing acts to be adopted under the GDPR, before submission to the committee in accordance with regulation (EU) n° 182/2011 also in the light of relevant studies.
This report of the Multistakeholder Expert Group does not reflect the opinion of the Commission nor one of its Services.
On 8 March 2019, the Commission circulated to the members of the GDPR Multistakeholder Expert group a list of questions to gather feedback on their experience, and/or the experience of their own members, on the application of GDPR since 25 May 2018.
The deadline for responding was initially set at 5 April 2019, and was then extended until 11 April 2019.
