Artikel 63 Kohärenzverfahren

Summary What does Article 63 of the GDPR regulation say?

This is a notably brief article that serves primarily as an introductory framing provision for the consistency mechanism, a key cooperative tool established under the GDPR.

Rather than setting out detailed rules itself, it acts as a gateway to the broader Section that follows, anchoring the obligation of supervisory authorities to work together and with the Commission in pursuit of uniform application of the Regulation across all Member States.

Important points:

Supervisory authorities are required to cooperate with each other and, where relevant, with the Commission through the consistency mechanism.
The consistency mechanism is the designated framework for achieving uniform application of the Regulation across the Union.
This article does not stand alone — it introduces and grounds the detailed procedural rules set out in the subsequent articles of this Section.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

Um zur einheitlichen Anwendung dieser Verordnung in der gesamten Union beizutragen, arbeiten die Aufsichtsbehörden im Rahmen des in diesem Abschnitt beschriebenen Kohärenzverfahrens untereinander und gegebenenfalls mit der Kommission zusammen.
