Artikel 72 Förfarande

Summary What does Article 72 of the GDPR regulation say?

This brief procedural article governs how the European Data Protection Board (the Board) makes decisions and organises itself internally.

It establishes the default voting threshold for Board decisions and sets a higher bar for the adoption of the Board's own internal rules of procedure.

It sits within the chapter dedicated to the Board's structure and operation, complementing articles that define the Board's composition, tasks, and leadership arrangements.

Important points:

The Board takes decisions by a simple majority of its members, unless this Regulation specifies otherwise.
The Board adopts its own rules of procedure by a two-thirds majority of its members.
The Board is responsible for organising its own operational arrangements.

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

1. Styrelsen ska fatta beslut med enkel majoritet av dess ledamöter, om inte annat anges i denna förordning.
1. Styrelsen ska själv anta sin arbetsordning med två tredjedels majoritet av sina ledamöter och fastställa sina arbetsformer.
