Artikel 53 Allmänna villkor för tillsynsmyndighetens ledamöter


Summary What does Article 53 of the GDPR regulation say?

This article sets out the rules governing the appointment and removal of members of national supervisory authorities under the GDPR.

It establishes that appointments must follow a transparent procedure and be carried out by a recognised national institution, while also requiring that members hold appropriate qualifications and expertise.

The article also addresses how membership ends, distinguishing between ordinary cessation and dismissal, the latter being permitted only in limited circumstances.

This article works in close conjunction with Article 54, which builds on these foundations by requiring Member States to enshrine these and further governance conditions in law.

Important points:

  • Member States are required to ensure appointments to supervisory authority roles are made through a transparent procedure by a recognised national body such as parliament, government, head of State, or an independent body.
  • Each appointed member must have the qualifications, experience and skills necessary to carry out their duties, with particular expertise in personal data protection.
  • Dismissal of a member is restricted to cases of serious misconduct or where the member no longer meets the conditions required for the role.
