Europes landmark privacy rules must be overhauled to ensure proper enforcement and protection of peoples rights, Johannes Caspar, a leading German regulator, said ahead of the laws two-year anniversary.<\/p>\n

Failure to enforce the rules against big companies and a lack of cooperation between regulators have fundamentally undermined the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the head of Hamburgs data protection authority told POLITICO.<\/p>\n

\u201cIm completely critical of the enforcement structure of the GDPR,\u201d said Caspar, whose office is in charge of overseeing the German activities of several Silicon Valley firms. \u201cThe whole system doesnt work.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments come as the blocs privacy enforcers have yet to agree on almost any penalties against large firms for potential abuse. The law passed in May of 2018 allows for penalties amounting to as much as 4 percent of a firms annual revenues in the event of a breach and has become a template for countries around the world<\/a>, yet so far no blockbuster fines have been announced.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Irelands privacy watchdog, in charge of overseeing firms like Google, Facebook, Twitter and Apple, said it had finished an investigation into Twitter<\/a>, its first major move against a Big Tech company under Europes new privacy standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery month that goes by, another [international] case goes into the case register. Were postponing them until they are forgotten\u201d \u2014 Johannes Caspar, German regulator<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The draft decision, details of which were not disclosed, will now be circulated among other European privacy regulators for approval, with a final decision in that case expected late next month. Dublin also said it was close to finishing a separate privacy investigation into WhatsApp, the internet messenger owned by Facebook.<\/p>\n

The Twitter decision is unlikely to quell disagreements between Europes community of 27 privacy regulators over enforcement against multinationals in technology, banking or other industries. Caspar has been one of the blocs most outspoken critics of the current system, under which Irelands watchdog is a key player due to the fact that many Silicon Valley firms are based in the country.<\/p>\n

So far, Frances data protection agency issued a \u20ac50 million fine<\/a> against Google in early 2019, which the search giant is appealing. The United Kingdoms regulator also said it would slap British Airways and Marriott International, the hotel chain, with a collective \u00a3282 million fine, though the ruling has been mired<\/a> in legal uncertainty.<\/p>\n

Bottomless pit<\/h3>\n

Caspar said EU agencies must be allowed to work with each other on international cases to avoid delays that can undermine peoples rights.<\/p>\n

Under the current system, only the watchdog in the country where the company is legally established has the authority to investigate potential abuses. Other regulators are allowed to weigh in via cooperation mechanisms and must approve the final penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime is a core issue in our digital world,\u201d Caspar said. \u201cEvery month that goes by, another [international] case goes into the case register. Were postponing them until they are forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his calls for change, Commission officials already have confirmed they will not change the enforcementRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
