Review of the OECD Recommendation on Cross-Border Co-operation in the Enforcement
of Laws Protecting Privacy
This report assesses the continued relevance of the OECD Recommendation on Cross-Border
Co-operation in the Enforcement of Laws Protecting Privacy, originally adopted in
2007. It examines whether the Recommendation has kept pace with the evolving needs
of Privacy Enforcement Authorities (PEAs) in light of significant technological and
legal changes over the past 15 years. While the principles underlying the Recommendation
are seen to remain solid, the report highlights several gaps and challenges for cross-border
enforcement co-operation. It concludes that the OECD could either provide additional
guidance to support the implementation of the Recommendation or consider revising
it to better address current challenges.
