The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have jointly issued a new opinion on a European Commission proposal to amend regulations, including the GDPR, simplifying rules for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small mid-cap enterprises (SMCs) by extending certain mitigating measures and introducing new definitions. The proposal aims to modify GDPR Article 30 to provide a derogation for record-keeping obligations for enterprises employing fewer than 750 people, as long as processing operations do not pose high risks to individuals' rights. The EDPB and EDPS support the proposal to reduce administrative burdens for SMEs and SMCs while ensuring the protection of individuals' fundamental rights. They welcomed the targeted modifications to record-keeping obligations and emphasized the importance of compliance tools like codes of conduct and certification, urging further clarifications on the impact of the proposed thresholds and definitions on affected organizations.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) adopted a Statement in Helsinki aimed at making GDPR compliance easier for organizations, particularly small and medium ones, to strengthen consistency and enhance cross-regulatory cooperation. EDPB Chair Anu Talus emphasized the importance of aligning technological advancements with fundamental rights to ensure a stronger digital economy, and the EDPB will provide resources like templates and checklists to simplify GDPR compliance.
