(133) The supervisory authorities should assist each other in performing their tasks and provide mutual assistance, so as to ensure the consistent application and enforcement of this Regulation in the internal market. A supervisory authority requesting mutual assistance may adopt a provisional measure if it receives no response to a request for mutual assistance within one month of the receipt of that request by the other supervisory authority..

(134) Each supervisory authority should, where appropriate, participate in joint operations with other supervisory authorities. The requested supervisory authority should be obliged to respond to the request within a specified time period.

The Regulation seeks to provide solutions to the lack of coordination between the various national authorities potentially competent under the Directive via single window mechanism established by Article 56. The “lead” supervisory authority is the only authority competent to monitor the activities of the controller or the processor carried out throughout the Union and to take the relevant decisions. The competence of the “lead” supervisory authority is specified in Article 56 of the Regulation that we refer to.

Article 60 of the Regulation impose on the ‘lead’ supervisory authority the obligation to cooperate with the other supervisory authorities with a view to reach a consensus in cases of potential debate on the designation of the competent supervisory authorities, in particular, to exchange all useful information (paragraph 1). Such exchange of information must be carried out by electronic means, by using a standard form (paragraph 10).

The lead supervisory authority may request at any time from the other “supervisory authorities concerned” the provision of mutual assistance in application of Article 61. According to article 4 (22) of the Regulation, the supervisory authority may be concerned by the processing in three cases:

“a) the controller or processor is established on the territory of the Member State of that supervisory authority;

b) data subjects residing in the Member State of that supervisory authority are substantially affected or likely to be substantially affected by the processing;

or c) a complaint has been lodged with that supervisory authority.”

In addition, the lead authority may conduct joint operations pursuant to Article 62, in particular for carrying out investigations or for monitoring the implementation of a measure concerning a controller or processor established in another Member State (Article 60, paragraph 2).

Let’s recall, in the comments to Article 56, we have seen that when one national authority other than the leading supervisory authority is, however, competent by application of the second paragraph of Article 56 to handle a claim lodged with it, it should inform the lead supervisory authority. Within a period of three weeks after being informed the lead supervisory authority shall decide whether or not it will handle the case or the authority should handle it at local level.

In the case where the lead supervisory authority decides to handle the case, paragraph 3 of Article 60 shall apply. This provision requires the lead supervisory authority to communicate “without delay” the useful information on the matter to the other supervisory authorities concerned. The supervisory authority shall also submit without delay a draft for a decision to the other supervisory authorities concerned in order to obtain their opinion and take due account of their views.

The other supervisory authorities have the ability to raise objections to the draft decision within a period of four weeks (paragraph 4). In the absence of response within the time limits set by the provision, the other supervisory authorities shall be deemed to have approved the draft for a decision and shall be bound by it (paragraph 6).

The lead supervisory authority shall, if it does not follow the “relevant and reasoned” objection provided by any other supervisory authority, submit the matter to the consistency mechanism referred to in Article 63 (4). The relevant and reasoned objection is defined in Article 4 (24) of the Regulation as “an objection as to whether there is an infringement of this Regulation, or, as the case may be, whether envisaged action in relation to the controller or processor complies with this Regulation. The objection shall clearly demonstrate the significance of the risks posed by the draft decision as regards the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects and, where applicable, the free flow of personal data within the Union.

In this case, the European Data Protection Board must make a binding decision on all aspects of the said objection and must in particular consider whether there is a violation of the Regulation (see Article 65 (1) (a)).

Where the lead supervisory authority intends to follow the relevant and reasoned objection made, it shall submit to the other supervisory authorities concerned a revised draft decision for their opinion. They will have a period of two weeks to provide their opinion. In this case, the procedure provided for in paragraph 3 shall apply (Art. 60, (5)).

At the end of this procedure, the lead supervisory authority shall adopt the decision and communicate it to the main establishment of the controller or the processor and shall inform the other supervisory authorities concerned, as well as the European Data Protection Board, making sure to include a summary of the relevant facts and grounds. The supervisory authority with which a complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the decision (paragraph 7).

Where a complaint is dismissed or rejected, the supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall adopt the decision and notify it to the complainant and shall inform the controller thereof (paragraph 8).

In the case of a mixed decision, i.e., where the lead supervisory authority and the supervisory authorities concerned agree to dismiss or reject parts of a complaint and to act on other parts of that complaint, a separate decision shall be adopted for each of those parts of the matter. In this case, the allocation of competences shall be as follows:

- the lead supervisory authority shall adopt the decision for the part concerning actions in relation to the controller, shall notify it to the main establishment or single establishment of the controller or processor on the territory of its Member State and shall inform the complainant thereof, and

- the supervisory authority of the complainant shall adopt the decision for the part concerning dismissal or rejection of that complaint, and shall notify it to that complainant and shall inform the controller or processor thereof (paragraph 9).

The controller or processor shall take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the decision as regards processing activities in the context of all its establishments in the Union (paragraph 10).  The controller or processor shall notify the lead supervisory authority of the measures taken for complying with the decision,  thenshall also inform the other supervisory authorities concerned.

Where, in exceptional circumstances, a supervisory authority concerned has reasons to consider that there is an urgent need to act in order to protect the interests of data subjects, the urgency procedure referred to in Article 66 shall apply (Article 60 (11)). This provision authorises the relevant supervisory authority to adopt without delay temporary measures with a limited legal scope within the territory of its Member State.

Direktivet

The Directive only provides that the supervisory authorities shall cooperate with one another to the extent necessary for the performance of their duties, in particular by exchanging all useful information. However, no provision of the Directive regulates the modes of cooperation between the national supervisory authorities.

The absence of obligation for coordination to the national supervisory authorities in the Directive has led to many problems for companies that operate on a transnational level facing the application of different national legislations.

Utfordringer

The implemented procedure seems highly complex and will lead to considerable work for the authorities concerned, who may often have to deal with the same case. Concomitant action by two separate authorities according to the nature of the decision (rejection or admission) is more likely to cause confusion for the complainant and concerned controllers/subcontractors who may no longer know who their interlocutor is.
