- The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) warned that the EU’s VAT fraud proposal needs clearer explanation, especially regarding data access.
- The proposal would give EPPO and OLAF direct, centralized access to VAT information to combat significant VAT fraud losses.
- The EDPS supports the proposal’s goals but cautions against blurring administrative and criminal data processing boundaries.
- The watchdog insists that law enforcement access to administrative databases must remain exceptional, clearly defined, and well safeguarded.
- The EDPS calls for further clarification to prevent the proposal from setting a precedent for broader or routine data access.
