A trainee asks whether the EDPB and the EDPS play the same role in issuing binding guidance to all national supervisory authorities. What distinction is most accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Don't mix up the league office with the stadium security for EU buildings. The EDPB keeps national referees consistent; the EDPS mainly watches EU institutions—not the same jersey.
Full Explanation
The European Data Protection Board promotes consistent application of the GDPR and cooperation among supervisory authorities, including opinions and binding decisions in defined dispute procedures. The European Data Protection Supervisor is the supervisory authority for Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies. The EDPS does not replace national SAs for ordinary private-sector controllers across Member States.
