Designation status
The state of play in Netherlands
The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens and the RDI are proposed as coordinating authorities. Designation is not complete, and the AP has been one of the most active authorities against AI systems under the GDPR.
The deadline in Article 70 for member states to designate their national competent authorities was 2 August 2025. Designation in national law and notification of a single point of contact to the Commission are separate steps, and this register tracks the first. See the full register for how Netherlands compares.
