Sancţiuni aplicate în perioada ianuarie-iunie 2022 de către autorităţile de supraveghere din Uniunea Europeană
Overview of fines and penalties imposed by the data protection authorities within the EU under the General Data Protection Regulation between January – June 2022

Summary/Abstract: Unfortunately, four years after EU Regulation 2016/679, also known as GDPR, became applicable, we can say that the perception of compliance of controlers and processor regarding the processing of personal data has not changed very much. If we were to refer to some findings that the competent authorities in the member states made in the first part of 2022, then we can conclude that some business can still be carried out while ignoring the fundamental rights and interests of the data subject. What must be kept in mind in the next period, is that the great lack of compliance measures will cause difficulties for the competent authorities to have a proper control in the field with the limited resources they have. The passage of time is usually what determines the correct direction in which things must go on in the field of personal data processing. That is why in our opinion it is time to warn, that only the identification and allocation of the necessary resources, combined with the intensification of the specific activities of the competent authorities, according to their tasks and legal powers, are able to contribute to the implementation and natural application of the fundamental right to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. The purpose of the article is to bring to the attention of those interested the approaches of the European data protection authorities within the activities carried out during the reference period.
