2. Meeting with DPC Helen Dixon (and Q&A with her staff)
It was a constructive and open meeting with the DPC. She stressed that there is a need to have
more reliable case statistics, and to highlight the right figures as regards the cases dealt by the
DPC. This is important towards many stakeholders, notably towards the LIBE committee in the
EP. The Cssr agreed on the significance of having centralised figures based on the same
methodology, regarding different elements of the GDPR such as enforcement or resources. This
would certainly help understand better the situation across the EU. The Cssr compared the
exercise to the “Justice Scoreboard”. This is something that the Commission could try to explore
with the EDPB and the other DPAs.
If confronted to an objection to DPC draft decisions coming from a MS, the DPC can either fully
agree with it or go to dispute resolution, which therefore happens often.
The
Csser raised the
idea to participate to one of the EDPB plenaries next year to exchange further
among DPAs and get further contacts, as we are doing now with constitutional courts.
Statistics should also be better communicated indeed. The DPC found the Csser’s idea very
good.
The DPC underlined that she is
sharing a lot of
information with the other DPAs, and that not
all of them do the same.

She also explained that a recent meeting with a
LIBE delegation to IE went fine and allowed to
clarify many points.
The DPC finally explained that she has good working relations with
big tech companies in IE.
They are very responsive to her requests, including Twitter. For most platforms in IE, they have
data protection teams in situ, with experienced people, that apparently wouldn’t be affected by
the recent layoffs – the only company deserving special attention in this regard being Twitter
following the dismissal of the previous DPO and the appointment of a new one,according to the
DPC.
