Urgency procedure
In plain English
In exceptional, urgent cases, a data protection authority can adopt temporary measures for its own territory straight away, for up to three months, without waiting for the usual cooperation procedures.
The official text
In exceptional circumstances, where a supervisory authority concerned considers that there is an urgent need to act in order to protect the rights and freedoms of data subjects, it may, by way of derogation from the consistency mechanism referred to in Articles 63, 64 and 65 or the procedure referred to in Article 60, immediately adopt provisional measures intended to produce legal effects on its own territory with a specified period of validity which shall not exceed three months.
