"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."
The EDPB and the EDPS adopted a Joint Opinion on the Digital Omnibus Regulation proposal aimed at simplifying the EU digital regulatory framework, reducing administrative burden and enhancing competitiveness. The opinion evaluates the proposal's interaction with the GDPR, the EUDPR, the ePrivacy Directive and the Data Acquis, focusing on simplification, legal certainty and effects on fundamental rights. Several proposed amendments raise significant concerns because they could lower protection levels, create legal uncertainty and complicate application of data protection law. The bodies strongly oppose narrowing the definition of personal data and reject delegating to the Commission authority to reclassify pseudonymised data. They urge co-legislators to avoid changes that would weaken individual rights.
