Key points
- Establishment of a new verification procedure to check if data protection breaches are linked to political activities during European elections.
- Use of a committee composed of independent eminent persons to determine if election outcomes were deliberately influenced by data infringements.
- Implementation of the 'ne bis in idem' principle to ensure that political parties are not sanctioned twice for the same infringement at both national and European levels.
- A mechanism to review and potentially revoke European sanctions if the underlying national decision is successfully appealed or repealed.
