Ms Gwendoline Delbos-Corfield:

How accountable is the Data Protection Commission to this committee? Where is it accountable? Are the commission's activities and what it does discussed every year? To whom does the commission present its annual report? The committee has been quite critical, and we seem to be on the same line on a number of things, which is not reflected in the decisions we understood would be those of the Minister for Justice.

How does the dialogue with the Minister for Justice take place? The committee produced the report and we understand that, following on from the report, the Minister for Justice has taken certain decisions. We understood there would be a hierarchy between the three commissioners but the committee does not seem to completely agree. We understood that this review aspect was not followed up completely. How are the powers and balance of powers organised between the committee and the other bodies? Who is accountable to who? How is all of this functioning? Every year, the French data protection authority, DPA, comes to the French Parliament and has to present on what it does and is then questioned by members of the Parliament.

To follow up on the remarks of Mr. Tang, we have met TikTok and Meta and in both cases, to be honest, how nice they are about the DPC was not reassuring . It is a very nice and open dialogue and they meet regularly and it works very well and all of that, which is one part of the job. I do not think it should only be about threats and fines and all of that, but that is the other part of the job. It feels like it is only in a monthly dialogue that they can construct things. They do not have the feeling of really having somebody holding them to account. What power does the committee have in that regard? How can it work on this issue?
