The aim of the CEF is to strengthen cooperation between national data protection authorities and promote uniform enforcement of the GDPR in Europe. Participation is voluntary. Participating supervisory authorities focus on the same priority topic at the same time and conduct investigations in their respective countries. The results are then compiled in a joint report at EU level, best practices are identified, and weaknesses in the implementation of the requirements are highlighted. If necessary, recommendations or further enforcement measures follow.<\/p><p>The 2026 focus review on \u201eTransparency and information obligations\u201c is already the fifth joint action.
