Abstract
Abstract Since the entry into force of the gdpr, national Parliaments within the EU have adopted varying legal opinions on its material scope of application and, inter alia, (national) data protection authorities’ supervisory jurisdiction concerning data processing in parliamentary core areas. This article summarizes the findings of a European Centre for Parliamentary Research and Documentation (ecprd) network survey conducted in early 2021 – that is, after the cjeu’s decision Land Hessen of 9 July 2020, C-272/19. It shows that the judgement had an ambiguous effect on parliaments’ legal viewpoints and briefly points out key issues influencing the minority opinion – amongst them the Austrian Parliament’s position – that parliamentary core activities’ data processing is exempted from the gdpr’s scope of application.
