My first question is for Mr. Schrems on the preference for negotiation over enforcement and the emphasis on informal engagement. He has more or less answered my question with what he said about there being an emphasis on mediation, cases being decided within six months, and having five or six decisions made in six months like in Austria and Spain. Is there anything else in either of those countries, or in Norway, which we could use to have more of an enforcement situation rather than negotiation or an informal engagement?

I have a couple of questions for Dr. Logue. What is his view on the increasing use of trackers on the cars of employees by telecoms organisations, for example? Does he think that police records and the PULSE system are adequately controlled?

In terms of local issues, particularly in County Kerry and I will not mention anything about the courthouse, there are GDPR concerns about litter. For example, in rural areas on private lands there are well known littering, dumping and fly-tipping areas. Following decisions made in Dublin about public spaces - it was suggested that it did not comply with GDPR - councils have declined to put cameras on private land which could be monitored by individual landowners in association with councils. Does Dr. Logue believe one can monitor fly-tipping areas in compliance with GDPR requirements?

Over the years the planning officers of county councils would give a briefing and discuss three or four planning applications, which may or may not be of concern to councillors. That practice was ended due to GDPR concerns. Does Dr. Logue believe the practice could be reintroduced to have a discussion and get the views of local authority members?
