The EDPB and the individual Supervisory Authorities (SAs) contributed to the evaluation and review of the Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive (LED), carried out by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 62 LED. The LED aims to provide a harmonised level of data protection for individuals in the area of law enforcement across the EU.

The past four years have been characterised primarily by the national processes to transpose the Directive. Because of its recent implementation, there is limited experience and empirical data on some parts of the LED. Therefore, the EDPB is of the opinion that it is too early to draw conclusions on the effectiveness of the LED or to consider its revision.

The EDPB strongly urges those Member States still in the phase of the implementation to invest all means possible to ensure that the transposition is fully compliant with the LED without any further delays.

In its contribution, the EDPB reaffirms its commitment to continue providing guidance on the interpretation of the LED. In addition,



the EDPB remains committed to providing independent assessments of future draft adequacy decisions, elaborated by the European Commission, with regard to the requirements of LED, especially enforceable rights, effective redress and safeguards concerning onward transfers.

The EDPB stresses that the effective implementation of the tasks under the LED requires the availability of the necessary resources, both human and technical, and calls on the Member States to ensure that the resources of SAs increase in proportion to their workload.
