European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) and the national supervisory authorities, each acting within the scope of their respective competences, shall cooperate actively within the framework of their responsibilities to ensure effective supervision of large-scale IT systems and of Union bodies, offices and agencies. For this purpose, Article 62 sets forth that they shall meet at least twice a year within the framework of the EDPB. This provision allows the EDPB to develop any further working methods as necessary.</p> <p>Pursuant to Article 62 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725, the EDPB created the CSC and regulated it in Title VII of the <a href="/our-work-tools/our-documents/publication-type/rules-procedure_en">EDPB Rules of Procedure</a>. The EDPB enabled the CSC to adopt its own rules of procedures and working methods to allow for its autonomous functioning and positioning.</p> <p>On that basis, the CSC adopted its own <a href="/our-work-tools/our-documents/csc-rules-procedure_en">Rules of Procedure</a>. </p> <p>The CSC also conducts its activities in coordinating the supervision of the processing of personal data in an EU large scale IT system or body, office or agency in accordance with the <strong>EU legal act establishing the large scale IT system or the EU body, office, or agency</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <h5>IMI System</h5> <p>The CSC ensures coordination in the supervision of the processing of personal data in the Internal Market Information System (IMI) in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012 (as modified by Article 38 of <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2018.295.01.0001.01.ENG#:~:text=Regulation%20(EU)%202018%2F1724,(Text%20with%20EEA%20relevance.)">Regulation (EU) No 2018/1724</a>).

The national DPAs of Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway also participate, as their respective countries also apply the EU legal acts governing IMI. </p> <p>The Internal Market Information System (IMI) is a secure, multilingual online tool, developed by the European Commission in close collaboration with the Member States, that facilitates the Exchange of information between public authorities involved in the practical implementation of EU law and helps authorities to fulfil their cross-border administrative cooperation obligations in multiple Single Market policy areas.
