How many active participants are expected in the European Data Protection Board?

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is a key body established under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that aims to ensure consistent application of data protection laws across the European Union. The EDPB consists of representatives from the national data protection authorities of all EU member states, which totals 27 member states (as of the current member composition) plus the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). This brings the total number of active participants in the EDPB to 28.

The participation of both the representatives and the EDPS is crucial for collaborative decision-making on data protection matters affecting the entire European Union, thus solidifying the basis for effective enforcement of the GDPR across its member states.
