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.
