European Union

EU-wide instruments set the floor; member states implement, overlay and enforce through their own regulators. The Radar currently maps the EU layer plus nine member states in depth, with capture from EU vantages so the banner you show Berlin is the banner that gets tested.

EU instruments (GDPR, ePrivacy, Omnibus, EAA, AI Act, DSA) → member-state implementation → national regulators (CNIL, DSK, AEPD, Garante, AP, APD, DSB, DPA, DPC).
