DLA Piper reveals European data regulators issued € 1.1 billion in GDPR fines

early € 1.1 billion ( US $ 1.2

N billion /£ 0.9gbn ) of fines have been imposed for a wide range of infringements of Europe ’ s General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ). This represents a 585 % year-on-year increase in fines imposed since January 28 , 2021 , compared to € 158.5 million during the same period last year , according to international law firm , DLA Piper . The figure is taken from the law firm ’ s latest annual General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ) fines and data breach survey of the 27 European Union Member States , plus the UK , Norway , Iceland and Liechtenstein .

Luxembourg , Ireland and France top the rankings for the highest individual fines (€ 746 million ; € 225 million and € 50 million respectively ). Luxembourg and Ireland have each imposed record-breaking fines moving them from the bottom to the top of the league tables . Croatia , the Czech Republic and Greece reported the fewest number of breach notifications per capita since January 28 , 2021 .
While the increase in fines may be significant , the judgment of Europe ’ s highest court in Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited , Maximillian Schrems in July 2020 known as Schrems II continues to be the top data protection compliance challenge for many organisations caught by GDPR . The judgment and Chapter V of GDPR impose strict limitations on the transfer of personal data from Europe and the UK
to ‘ third countries ’, with data exporters risking suspension orders , fines and claims for compensation for failing to meet these new requirements . The judgment requires organisations exporting personal data from Europe and the UK to third countries to carry out comprehensive mapping of those transfers and detailed assessments of the legal and practical risks of interception by public authorities in the countries where importers are located , greatly increasing the compliance burden on data exporters and importers .
Commenting on the survey findings , Ross McKean , Chair of the UK Data Protection and Security Group , said : “ The nearly sevenfold increase in fines may grab the headlines , but the Schrems II judgment and its profound implications for data transfers has established itself as the top data protection compliance challenge for many organisations caught by GDPR .”
