Mr. Dale Sunderland:

The DPC and data protection authorities in all other member states are entirely independent from their national governments and the European Commission. It is our job to take the legal framework we have been given and dispassionately regulate against that framework without fear or favour and this is what we are doing. We are coming to the conclusion of our major investigations so the results of those will start to appear in early 2020. That pipeline is filling up. As I mentioned earlier, some of the key principles of data protection that have been in place here for 30 years feature in those investigations. We make determinations on them and impose sanctions and other corrective measures where appropriate and necessary. We have the means to regulate this sector and are doing so in co-operation with other European data protection authorities.
