CNSA
On the initiative of the European Commission, an informal group was created consisting of National Authorities involved with the enforcement of Article 13 of the Privacy and Electronic Communication Directive 2002/58/EC called “the Contact Network of Spam Authorities (CNSA)“.
In the CNSA, information on current practices to fight spam is exchanged between National Authorities, including best practices for receiving and handling Complaint information and Intelligence and investigating and countering spam. The Commission is responsible for the CNSA secretariat. The CNSA is further assisted by a Coordinator. The Coordinator facilitates information exchange between CNSA Members and supports the Commission’s secretariat. The current Coordinator is the Office of Fair Trading (United Kingdom). The CNSA meets on a regular basis (3-4 times a year) in Brussels.
The CNSA has set up a cooperation procedure that aims to facilitate the transmission of complaint information or other relevant Intelligence between National Authorities. More information is available here.
