Article 59 Rapports d'activité

Summary What does Article 59 of the GDPR regulation say?

This brief article establishes a transparency and accountability obligation on supervisory authorities, requiring them to produce an annual report on their activities.

It connects directly to Article 58, which sets out the corrective powers available to supervisory authorities, as the annual report may include a summary of infringements notified and measures taken under that article.

The report must be distributed widely, reaching national parliaments, governments, the public, the Commission, and the European Data Protection Board.

Important points:

Supervisory authorities are required to draw up an annual report on their activities each year.
The report must be shared with the national parliament, government, designated national authorities, the public, the Commission, and the Board.
Supervisory authorities may include in the report a list of types of infringement notified and types of measures taken under Article 58(2).

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

Chaque autorité de contrôle établit un rapport annuel sur ses activités, qui peut comprendre une liste des types de violations notifiées et des types de mesures prises conformément à l'article 58, paragraphe 2. Ces rapports sont transmis au parlement national, au gouvernement et à d'autres autorités désignées par le droit de l'État membre. Ils sont mis à la disposition du public, de la Commission et du comité.
