Data Protection

Role and Position

In compliance with the provisions of the Regulation (EC) 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the pro-cessing of personal data by Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (“Regula-tion 45/2001”), the Head of COR had been appointed EIF data protection officer in 2007 for a period of three years; this appointment was extended in 2010 for another period of three years. According to the terms and condi-

tions of an inter-institutional agreement, the EIF data pro-tection officer and the EIB data protection officer mutually replace each other.

The Regulation 45/2001 contains the key obligations of EU institutions and bodies in relation to the protection of personal data and sets out the procedure for the notifica-tion of data processing to the European Data Protection Supervisor. One notification was made to the EDPS in 2010 concerning the processing of personal data in con-nection with EIF transactions.
