Also known as

The Grand Chamber of the Court addressed the interpretation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) concerning the applicability of data protection rules to activities of a parliamentary committee of inquiry in Austria. The Court ruled that such activities do not automatically fall outside the scope of Union law or the GDPR, particularly when investigating potential political influence over a police authority. Additionally, it clarified that a single supervisory authority established by a Member State must have the competence to hear complaints related to data processing by that committee, regardless of national law provisions that might suggest otherwise.AI
