(120) Each supervisory authority should be provided with the financial and human resources, premises and infrastructure necessary for the effective performance of their tasks, including those related to mutual assistance and cooperation with other supervisory authorities throughout the Union. Each supervisory authority should have a separate, public annual budget, which may be part of the overall state or national budget.

There is no recital in the Directive related to article 31.

The GDPR

Article 31 of the Regulation sets specific obligations to the controllers and the processors - as well as to their representative, as appropriate, to cooperate at the request of the supervisory authorities, in the performance of their tasks.

This obligation is obvious. Being contained in the first version of the text, it then disappeared to return in the last version. Doubtless, a sign among many others, of a strong political will to strengthen the powers of the supervisory authorities.

The Directive

Neither the Directive, nor most national laws contained a corresponding provision.

Potential issues

We do not see a priori any specific implementation difficulties.
