A regional parliament liaison asks which EU institution typically proposes updates to the European data-protection legislative stack. Which answer is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
In the EU kitchen, the Commission usually writes the first draft of the big legislative recipe. Parliament and Council then debate and adopt, but the classic starting whistle for EU DP instruments is a Commission proposal—not city mayors, trade chambers alone, or the US FTC.
Full Explanation
Within the ordinary legislative process for Union acts, the European Commission generally exercises the right of initiative and proposes legislation, including instruments in the data-protection field. The European Parliament and the Council participate in adoption according to the applicable procedure. National chambers of commerce, the US FTC, and municipal mayors do not replace the Commission’s initiative role for EU regulations such as GDPR-related updates.
