BVMN Demands Stronger Data Protections to Stop Border Abuse

24 Mar 2023
Topic — This initiative streamlines cooperation between national data protection authorities in cross-border enforcement cases.
Message — The network requests enhanced protection through increased monitoring of data collection and processing at EU borders. They demand that public interest is not used as a blanket justification to curtail data rights. Additionally, they seek uniform accessibility to national authorities for people on the move.123
Why — This would provide the network more robust legal channels to document and challenge pushbacks.4
Impact — Border authorities would face increased legal scrutiny and potential accountability for data handling practices.5
