The European Commission regularly issues communications aiming at taking stock of efforts in a specific European programme, at launching initiatives, or at exploring and testing new policy options. The Commission is not legally obliged to submit these communications to the EDPS for consultation. However, because the EDPS advises on all matters relating to data protection, and because the communications strive to shape or make policy, the EDPS may formally address them in a position statement called "comments". The comments contain a policy analysis. They also provide recommendations in order for the proposed actions to properly comply with and promote the data protection principles. By entering in an early phase of the policy process, the EDPS aims to enable the next stages to comply with privacy and data protection legislation. The comments are not limited to Commission communications, but can also be issued as a reply to other instruments adopted by the EU institutions, as well as to specific EU events which require an in depth position statement.
