Register – A seven-month long search for a new European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) has ended chaotically, after five candidates who were shortlisted for the job failed to meet Brussels’ strict criteria, The Register has learned.
It means that the posts that are currently held by Peter Hustinx and his deputy Giovanni Buttarelli will be left vacant come 16 January when their mandate is expected to expire, unless the pair agree to stay on for longer.
