One year later, we can clearly see that this regulation raised professionals and individuals\u2019 awareness of data protection issues. The regulation gave extensive new powers to individuals in how they can control their data. For example, data subjects can demand from organisations to tell them how their data are used and ask them to destroy their data, &nbsp;\u201cthe right to be forgotten.\u201d and the fines for non-compliance were significantly increased. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Eurobarometer of March 2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the increase in queries and complaints confirms the rise in awareness about data protection rights among individuals. Indeed, <\/span><b>67%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of EU citizens polled indicated that they have heard of the GDPR, <\/span><b>36%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of them indicated that they are well aware of what the GDPR entails. In addition,<\/span><b> 57%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of them indicated that they are aware of the existence of a public authority in their country responsible for protecting their data protection rights. This result shows an increase of <\/span><b>20<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> percentage points compared to 2015 Eurobarometer results according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edpb.europa.eu\/news\/news\/2019\/1-year-gdpr-taking-stock_fr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">European Commission.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/techgdpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-2019-05-25-14.48.03-1024x703.png\" alt=\"GDPR Awareness in the EU\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How has the GDPR been enforced so far?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On February 26, 2019, the European Data Protection Board released an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overview on the implementation and enforcement of the GDPR<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to this report, cooperation mechanisms within national data protection authorities have been heightened. Between May 2018 and February 2019, 444 mutual assistance requests, both formal and informal, have been triggered by Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) from 18 different EEA countries. Furthermore, 45 one-stop-shop procedures were initiated by DPAs from 14 different EEA countries, 23 cases are currently at the informal consultation stage, 16 are at the draft decision stage and 6 cases have been finalised. These cases are mainly related to the exercise of individual rights, consumer rights and data breaches. The EDPB has adopted 28 consistency opinions regarding the national lists of processing subject to a data protection impact assessment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total number of cases reported by DPAs from 31 EEA countries totalled 206,326 with 94,266 complaints and 64,684 of those cases initiated on the basis of data breach notification by controllers. 52% of the above cases have concluded while 1% are being challenged before national courts. DPAs from 11 EEA countries reported imposing administrative fines under the GDPR totalling \u20ac55,955,871.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techgdpr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-2019-05-25-15.29.02-1024x634.png\" alt=\"GDPR Cases in Year One\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GDPR fines in the first year<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, based on a complaint by the non-profit organisation<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/noyb.eu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> NOYB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (\u201cNone Of Your Business\u201d) &nbsp;the french supervisory authority imposed the world\u2019s stiffest privacy fine against Google.
