The pace of the official publication of the opinions is measured, to say the least, so it serves the needs of those, who look at the reasoning and older material.

More up-to-date material is found on the web pages of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS).



There you find more information about the EDPS, supervision, consultation (including fresh opinions) and cooperation. There are links to relevant legislation.

The publications include a Position paper on the role of Data Protection Officers in ensuring effective compliance with Regulation (EC) 45/2001, which concerns the Community institutions.
