Organisation and human resources


The EDPS was established in 2004 and currently employs around 50 staff members, divided into six units and sectors:

  • Supervision and Enforcement, which ensures data protection compliance in the European institutions and bodies
  • Policy and Consultation , which focuses on the consultative role of the EDPS and advises European institutions on all matters that may have an impact on the protection of personal data
  • Information and Communication
  • IT Policy
  • Operations, planning and support
  • Human resources, budget and administration.

The provisions concerning the EU civil service are set out in the European Communities’ Staff Regulations . Article 1 stipulates that, for this purpose, the EDPS is treated as an institution of the Communities. In practice, that means that EDPS staff are subject to the rights and obligations of the Staff Regulations, and that recruitment to the EDPS follows the procedures laid down in them.

In addition to statutory staff, programs for national experts and trainees provide much valued assistance on a temporary basis.
