On 19 May 2021, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) held its plenary session with a busy agenda. The first outcomes of the plenary have now been published by the EDPB.
First EU-wide Codes of Conduct for Cloud services
The EDPB adopted two positive opinions on the draft decisions that authorise EU-wide codes of conduct (referred to as “transnational codes of conduct”, to reflect that the codes can be used throughout EU and are not limited to one EU member state). The draft decisions were put forward by the French supervisory authority (the CNIL), in relation to the CISPE Data Protection Code of Conduct for cloud infrastructure service providers (including the IaaS sector), and the Belgian DPA in relation to the EU CLOUD Code of Conduct for cloud service providers.

In order to keep those considered as undesirable at a distance, would the European Union go so far as to extend beyond its borders the ‘Dublin’ mechanism for allocating state responsibility for asylum claims, at the risk of further aggravating the rights violations along the Balkan route?
