Opinions Prior Check and Prior Consultations

Crèches - Parliament

Opinion of 8 December 2006 on the notifications of prior checking regarding the "Medical files - Parliament crèche" and "Medical files - private crèches" (Cases 2006-267 and 2006-268)

The processing is managed by the European Parliament. It involves administrative and medical files relating to the Parliament crèche and to the six private crèches with which the Parliament has concluded a contract. Its purposes are the children's admission to the crèches, the measures to be taken for children whose health is fragile and the medical follow-up of children. The processing operations are subject to prior notification because they involve data relating to health (Article 27(2)(a)).
 

The EDPS has, inter alia, recommended that the persons responsible for managing the medical data should be reminded they are subject to a professional secrecy obligation and that the data subjects should be informed of the main reasons for limiting their right of access and of their right to have recourse to the EDPS. The EDPS has also stressed that all the information – both compulsory and optional – set out in Articles 11 and 12 should be included in a note in time for the next applications for admission and that the contract between the processors (the private crèches) and the controller (the Parliament) should mention all the points set out in Articles 21, 22 and 23(2) of the Regulation.
