Changes to the GDPR and the EUDPR Changes raising significant concerns Some proposed changes raise significant concerns as they can adversely affect the level of protection enjoyed by individuals, create legal uncertainty and make data protection law more difficult to apply. The EDPB and the EDPS strongly urge the co-legislators not to adopt the proposed changes to the definition of personal data as they go far beyond a targeted or technical amendment of the GDPR. In addition, they do not accurately reflect and clearly go beyond the CJEU jurisprudence, and they would result in significantly narrowing the concept of personal data. The European Commission should not be entrusted to decide by an implementing act what is no longer personal data after pseudonymisation as it directly affects the scope of application of EU data protection law. “Simplification is essential to cut red tape and strengthen EU competitiveness — but not at the expense of fundamental rights. We welcome the Commission’s steps toward greater harmonisation, consistency, and legal certainty. However, we strongly urge the co-legislators not to adopt the proposed changes in the definition of personal data, as they risk significantly weakening individual data protection.” EDPB Chair, Anu Talus
