European Union: European Data Protection Board launched coordinated enforcement action on transparency and information obligations under General Data Protection Regulation

On 19 March 2026, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) launched its Coordinated Enforcement Framework (CEF) action for 2026, focusing on compliance with transparency and information obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The topic was selected at the EDPB's October 2025 plenary. The action applies to data controllers across sectors in Europe and will involve 25 data protection authorities (DPAs) conducting enforcement actions and fact-finding exercises to assess compliance with Articles 12, 13, and 14 of the GDPR. In the second half of 2026, participating DPAs will share findings with a view to producing a consolidated report for adoption by the EDPB, which may result in follow-up actions at national and EU levels.
