SRIW’s Subsidiary, SCOPE Europe, Shares First Practical Experience

SRIWNews

Roughly one month ago, Selbstregulierung Informationswirtschaft e.V. (SRIW) published “GDPR’s 5th Anniversary Resumée - A practical resumée from a co-regulatory perspective, reflecting Codes of Conduct and Monitoring Bodies in particular”. In view of recent developments at SRIW’s subsidiary SCOPE Europe, i.e. its accreditation as the official Monitoring Body of the Data Pro Code and the initiation of the assessment procedures, it seems worthwhile to draw attention to SCOPE Europe's contribution to SRIW’s anniversary resumée.

SCOPE Europe has been established in 2017 to promote and facilitate two key elements in the context of GDPR Codes of Conduct:

  1. the drafting and maintenance,
  2.  the independent monitoring.

Hereby, SCOPE Europe instantiated the next iteration and evolution of the activities which SRIW has paved the way for.

"In general, Codes of Conduct prove to be an effective tool."

SCOPE Europe recognizes in its paper that the developing and monitoring can follow distinct patterns. Additionally, SCOPE Europe recognizes that negotiations related to the approval (material requirements) and the accreditation (monitoring of such requirements) follow common systematics. Therefore, developing and monitoring Codes of Conduct provide opportunities for scaling. However, practical experience suggests that stronger alignment across Europe is appreciated to further limit rather formalist differences with limited added value resulting in partially disproportionate additional efforts.
