The Academy of European Law (ERA) mourns
the death of Giovanni Buttarelli, the European Data Protection Supervisor, on 20 August 2019. ERA cooperated closely with EDPS over many years and Giovanni Buttarelli himself spoke at a number of our conferences both before and after his appointment as Supervisor. He paid tribute to this cooperation in our Annual Report 2014. We send our deepest sympathy to his family and colleagues.
