Executive Summary of the Opinion of the European Data Protection Supervisor on the Commission Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on single-member private limited liability companies

(The full text of this Opinion can be found in English, French and German on the EDPS website http://www.edps.europa.eu)

(2014/C 390/02)

1.   Introduction

1.1.   Consultation of the EDPS

1.

On 9 April 2014, the Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on single-member private limited liability companies (‘the Proposal’) (1). On the same day, the Commission sent the Proposal to the EDPS for consultation.

1.2.   Objective and scope of the Proposal

2.

The overall objective of the Proposal is to ‘make it easier for any potential company founder, and in particular for SMEs, to set up companies abroad’. To this end, the Proposal aims to ‘harmonise the conditions of setting-up and operation of single-member limited liability companies’. The Proposal provides for ‘the possibility of online registration, with the standard template for the articles of association, a minimum capital requirement of EUR 1, accompanied by a balance sheet test and a solvency statement.’ To help ensure transparency, it also requires disclosure of certain information about the single-member company in a register accessible to the public (2).

3.   Conclusions

—	We welcome the consultation of the EDPS on this Proposal and the fact that the Proposal limits the collection of data on disqualifications currently in effect, and that it specifies that information exchanges could be carried out under the IMI system.

—

In the present Opinion we recommend the following further improvements: — A substantive provision, or at least a recital, should be added to refer to applicable data protection legislation, including ‘national law implementing Directive 95/46/EC’. — The preamble should refer to the fact that the EDPS has been consulted. — The Proposal should be more explicit on what personal data may be exchanged via IMI, including whether additional information can be collected with regard to disqualifications. — The Proposal, in a substantive provision, should more clearly specify the documents to be made available publicly, subject to a careful assessment of proportionality, and should also specify that any publication will be made subject to data protection safeguards under national law. — Further, the Proposal should specify that the personal data made publicly available under the Proposal may be used for purposes of transparency and accountability and shall not be used for any incompatible purposes. — Finally, the Proposal should also require the registers/companies to ensure that technical and organisational measures are put in place to limit accessibility of the information regarding individuals (such as single-members or company representatives) after a certain period of time.

Executive Summary of the Opinion of the European Data Protection Supervisor on the Commission Decision on the protection of personal data in the European e-Justice Portal

(The full text of this Opinion can be found in English, French and German on the EDPS website www.edps.europa.eu)

(2014/C 390/03)

1.   Introduction

1.1.   Consultation of the EDPS

1.

On 5 June 2014, the Commission adopted a Commission Decision on the protection of personal data in the European e-Justice Portal (‘the Decision’) (1).

2.

We welcome the fact that we were consulted on this Decision prior to its adoption and that we were given the possibility to provide informal comments to the Commission. The Commission took into account several of these comments. As a result, the data protection safeguards in the Decision have been strengthened. We also welcome the reference in the preamble to the consultation of the EDPS.

1.2.   Context, objective and scope of the Decision

3.

As explained in recitals 1-3 of the Decision, in its communication of May 2008 (2), the Commission stated that it would design and set up the European e-Justice Portal (‘Portal’), to be managed in close cooperation with the Member States. The Portal was launched on 16 July 2010 and is now ready for the first interconnection of national registers involving the processing of personal data. The Portal’s objective is to contribute to the achievement of the European judicial area by facilitating and enhancing access to justice and leveraging information and communication technologies to facilitate cross-border electronic judicial proceedings and judicial cooperation.

4.

Recitals 4-5 of the Decision highlight the importance of data protection and provide that since the various Portal-related tasks and functions of the Commission and the Member States will entail different responsibilities and obligations as regards data protection, it is essential to delimit them clearly. Accordingly, the Decision aims at providing more clarity and legal certainty with regard to the responsibilities of the Commission as a controller in connection with its activities relating to the operation of the Portal.

3.   Conclusions

30.

We welcome the fact that we were consulted on this Decision prior to its adoption and that the Commission took into account several of our comments.

31.

In the present Opinion we encourage the Commission to increase its efforts for a swift adoption of the future Regulation on e-Justice. This Opinion contains preliminary guidance to drafting such a future Regulation and provides a non-exhaustive list of items that should be addressed in this future Regulation, including: — Scope of the Portal — Legal grounds for processing of data in the Portal — Responsibilities of the Commission and the various other parties involved as controllers, including with regard to security and data protection by design — Purpose limitation and restrictions, where applicable, on data combination.
