Thematic legal study on data protection in the European Union: the role of national data protection authorities

These thematic legal studies constitute the background information drawn on by the FRA in order to compile its legal comparative analysis for the report on ‘Data protection in the European Union: the role of National Data Protection Authorities’. These reports were prepared under contract by the FRA’s research network, FRALEX. They consist of an overview of country specific information and data to assess the effectiveness of data protection measures and the competencies of relevant institutions in the 27 EU Members States.
