Here we are again with the latest EDPS Newsletter!
This time around, we look at upcoming events, our strategic vision under the AI Act, two more joint opinions we issued with the European Data Protection Board (relating to cybersecurity and biotech proposals), and more.
We have a bumper newsletter this time around, full of all sorts of goings-on in the world of data protection and the EDPS. The start to 2026 has been very busy indeed. We've issued joint opinions with the European Data Protection Board on both the Digital Omnibus and the AI Act. We've established rules to protect data protection officer independence within European institutions. The Supervisor has penned blogposts on EDPS audits, the AI Act Correspondents Network, and the future of regulatory cooperation.
With Christmas and a new year just around the corner, there is still time for one more catch-up on all things European data protection. In this issue, we have: horizon-scanning releases looking at emerging tech, a look at recent international meetings between data protection authorities, and privacy-focused events to kick off your 2026. Read on!
We are back and there is a lot to catch up on! Read on for events to register for; new EDPS publications and Opinions on AI and transatlantic data sharing; reflections on events on cross-border data protection, privacy tech and the AI Act; news on EDPS oversight of EU border systems; an update on a key court judgement; and more.
