The CNIL is the federal Data Protection Authority for France. The authority is established in Paris and is in charge of enforcing GDPR for France.
Structure
The CNIL was established in 1978 with the law "Informatique et Libertés". It is an independent administrative authority led by a college of 18 members and a contract staff team. Twelve out of eighteen members are elected or designated by the national authorities and courts to which they belong (i.e. Senate, National Parliament, Economic and Social Committee, Supreme Civil and Administrative Courts, Court of Auditors and the Commission of Access to Administrative Documents). The CNIL's president can freely recruit its other staff.
The CNIL issues orders and imposes fines within a restricted formation, meaning one president and five others elected members, pursuant to Article 9 of the Law "Informatique et Libertés". The CNIL's internal rules indicate that, unless otherwise justified, the pronunciation of fines is public.
Anyone can ask for the agenda of the hearing and attend. You can find the CNIL's public agenda here.
The composition, nomination and the organisational structure is laid down by Articles 9 to 18 of the Law "Informatique et Libertés". You can find the organizational chart here.
