The European data protection supervisor: The institutions of the EC controlled by an independent authority

Article Abstract:

The Treaty of Amsterdam introduced data protection, the core principles of which were developed in the 1970s, in the EC Treaty, and the Article 286(2) EC transposes the concept of an independent supervisory body (the EDPS) as introduced in Community law by Directive 95/46. The EDPS has elements of an institution, an agency, a regulator, an ombudsman and a judicial body, which gives a face to data protection and provides for independence, expertise and power.
