The DPA is struggling with an increasing number of cases and a wave of new, complex European legislation, but is at the same time facing a recruitment freeze. The proposed strategy is therefore a clear choice: the DPA will no longer disperse its resources and resolutely opts for prioritization and cooperation. For citizens and businesses, this represents a major shift: expect less individual support and more proactive, targeted enforcement on strategic themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waarom-deze-koerswijziging-de-gba-onder-druk\">Why this change in direction? The DPA under pressure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DPA operates in what it itself describes as a \u201cbudget challenging context\u201d<sup><\/sup>. The urge to prioritize does not come out of the blue, but is a direct response to a \u201ctripartite challenge\u201d that makes normal operation untenable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-stijgende-en-complexere-dossiers\">1. Rising and more complex cases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DPA sees the number of current cases increase year after year<sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup>. The table in the plan shows a marked increase in complaints, data breach reports (breaches) and advisory requests, among others<sup><\/sup>. At the same time, cases are becoming more substantively complex due to rapid technological developments<sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-een-tsunami-aan-nieuwe-eu-wetgeving\">2. A \u2018tsunami\u2019 of new EU legislation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/data-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/a> the DPA must play a supervisory role in a whole series of new European rules, known as the \u2018Digital Rulebook\u2019. The plan lists an impressive list , including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/the-ai-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act)<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/the-data-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Act<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/digital-services-regulation-dsa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital Services Act (DSA)<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/edhs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Health Data Space (EHDS).<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ictrechtswijzer.be\/en\/the-data-governance-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Governance Act<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These new tasks are in addition to the existing workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-een-harde-wervingsstop\">3. A hard recruitment freeze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To handle these growing and more complex tasks, the DPA \u201ccannot automatically count on additional staff.\u201d<sup><\/sup>. The plan is very explicit in this: there is a hiring freeze (appropriations for additional staff are \u201cin principle denied\u201d) that runs \u201cin principle through 2029\u201d<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DPA itself concludes that it too often operates \u201cunder the pressure of an unpredictable and sometimes even unmanageable influx of cases.\u201d The new strategy should break through this. The clear message is: \u201cThe DPA must be able to lead.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-de-kern-van-de-strategie-prioritering-in-twee-assen\">The core of the strategy: prioritization in two axes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To \u201cmaximize\u201d its resources <sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup><sup><\/sup>, the DPA will base its choices on two axes: a reform of its tasks and processes, and a sharp substantive focus<sup><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-as-1-een-radicale-hervorming-van-de-kerntaken\">Axis 1: a radical reform of core functions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where citizens and organizations will feel the change most strongly.
