Top Internet innovators are selected for funding and support through 5 open calls. Each of these calls support the development of cutting-edge solutions to break down data silos, ensure interoperability and explore privacy-preserving Web3 and blockchain technologies.

Honoured that in its judgement of 28 November 2024 the Belgian Constitutional Court followed my argumentation (representing the Belgian Ministry of Finance) that the Belgian Data Protection Authority does not have discretionary power to decide in which language proceedings before the DPA are conducted. Article 57 of the Belgian DPA Act provides that the DPA can decide which language parties have to use depending on the needs of the case, thus giving the DPA discretionary power to decide on the procedural language to be used. Pursuant to this Article, the Belgian DPA drew up a 9-pages Language Policy. I argued that this Article 57 and Language Policy violate Article 30 of the Belgian Constitution, which provides that rules on languages have to be set forth in an Act of Parliament, not in a policy drafted by an administrative governmental agency. The Constitutional Court now finds that Article 57 of the Act indeed violates Article 30 of the Constitution. Its legal basis having been declared unconstitutional, the Belgian DPA may now no longer apply its Language Policy. The Constitutional Court rules that the DPA has to apply the usual language legislation that applies to most administrative governmental agencies. The judgement is available here : https://lnkd.in/evamJxgr (Dutch) and https://lnkd.in/eATGKdEn (French) #GDPR #data #dataprotection #privacy
