Simplification of record-keeping obligation: EDPB and EDPS adopt letter to EU Commission julia Thu, 05/08/2025 - 18:05 Thu, 05/08/2025 - 12:00

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted a letter, addressed to the European Commission, on the upcoming proposal on the simplification of record-keeping obligation under the GDPR, amounting to a targeted amendment of Art. 30(5) GDPR.

The joint letter replies to the letter sent by the European Commission to the EDPB and the EDPS on 6 May 2025 where the Commission explained how it intends to introduce specific modifications to the GDPR. The EDPB and EDPS understand that a formal consultation will take place after the publication of the proposed legislative change.

The EDPB and EDPS shared that, at this stage, they could express preliminary support to this targeted simplification initiative, bearing in mind that this would not affect the obligation of controllers and processors to comply with other GDPR obligations. Nevertheless, the EDPB and EDPS asked the Commission to better evaluate the impact on the organisation subject to this change, to assess whether the draft proposal ensure a proportionate and fair balance between the protection of personal data and the interests of organisations with less than 500 employees.
