EDPB adopts template complaint form and a final version of Recommendations on the application for approval and on the elements and principles to be found in Controller BCRs

Brussels, 21 June - During its latest plenary, the EDPB has adopted a template complaint form to facilitate the submission of complaints by individuals and the subsequent handling of complaints by Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) in cross-border cases.

EDPB Chair, Anu Talus said: “The template is one of the commitments the EDPB Members made during their high-level meeting of April 2022 in Vienna to boost enforcement cooperation among DPAs. It will facilitate the cross-border exchange of information regarding complaints between DPAs and will help DPAs save time and resolve cross-border cases more efficiently."

The template takes into account existing differences between national laws and practices. DPAs will use it on a voluntary basis and can adapt it to their respective national requirements.
