Art. 15 Monitoring and reporting | Information sharing system | DSA

This article establishes the oversight and reporting obligations tied to AGORA's ongoing performance.

It tasks the Commission with continuously monitoring and evaluating AGORA, and requires it to produce periodic formal reports submitted to the European Parliament, the Council, and the European Data Protection Supervisor.

These reports must cover how AGORA is functioning, how well actors are using it, and how personal data protection is being handled.

To feed into this process, Digital Services Coordinators, the Board, and other competent authorities are required to supply the Commission with annual reports on their use of AGORA.

Important points:

The Commission is required to submit implementation reports starting 17 February 2027, and every three years after that, covering AGORA performance, information sharing, and data protection.
Each report must specifically address personal data protection and data security aspects of AGORA's operation.
Digital Services Coordinators, the Board, and other competent authorities are required to submit annual reports to the Commission to support the preparation of these reports.
