The GDPR

Article 76 expressly states that the discussions of the Board shall be confidential where the Board deems it necessary, as provided for in its rules of procedure.

Access to documents submitted to members of the Board, experts and representatives of third parties shall be governed by Regulation (EC) No. 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents (paragraph 2).

In its first version, paragraph 3 of Article 76 imposed on the Chair the requirement to ensure that the members of the Board, the experts and the representatives of third parties are made aware of their duty to comply with the rule of confidentiality. However, this provision has not been maintained.

The Directive

The Directive did not provide for confidentiality of the discussions of the Article 29 Working Party.

Potential issues

We do not see a priori  any specific implementation difficulties.
