Making sense of the EU’s cross-regime digital enforcement: extended accountability, redundancy and interdependence: Blog at https://digi-con.org/making-sense-of-the-eus-cross-regime-digital-enforcement-extended-accountability-redundancy-and-interdependence/

The European Data Protection Supervisor (the EDPS) has released a visionary Concept Note for Digital Clearinghouse 2.0, aimed at ‘achieving a consistent, cooperative, and coherent approach to enforcing EU laws regulating digital markets’ (January 15, 2025). The Note’s insights are precious and daring, resulting in concrete and welcomed proposals. For example, the EDPS advocates for enhancing the previously proposed Digital Clearing House initiative while maintaining its flexibility through the ‘variable geometry’ of regulators; additionally, it supports new EU legislation aimed at streamlining cross-regime cooperation by establishing clear legal grounds for joint actions, allowing for institutionalised information sharing while safeguarding due process rights.
