Main Problem with the Big Companies is that these are located in Ireland.
The Commissioner there has no resources [0] to pursue these cases but he can't be bypassed when it comes to fees (at least convention of the other Commissioners if not by the GDPR itself).
The other Commissioners are becoming more and more upset with this and planing to institute a board to overrule Ireland's Commissioner. But all of this is very slow...
You can't imagen the frustration over this on part of the other Comissioners

- dbspin 7y agoWant to second this. There's been a lot of criticism of the Irish commissioner's approach, both from Data Privacy advocates here in Ireland (e.g.: Digital Rights Ireland), and at the EU level.
- rsynnott 7y agoThis is a major flaw in the European regulatory process; regional regulators in regions with a high concentration of activity often get overwhelmed.
