The EDBP Chair will be chosen from among its members. In the same way as the Article 29 Working Party, the EDPB will monitor the correct application of the new data protection rules, advise the European Commission on any relevant issue, and give advice and guidance on a variety of topics related to data protection. The novelty of the GDPR is that the EDPB will also issue binding decisions in the case of certain disputes between national data protection authorities thus fostering the consistent application of data protection rules throughout the EU.

The GDPR contains an obligation that personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data, including for preventing unauthorised access to or use of personal data and the equipment used for the processing.

The data protection reform package which entered into force in May 2016 and will be applicable as of May 2018 includes the General Data Protection Regulation ("Regulation") and the Data Protection Directive for the police and criminal justice sector.
