5 1 Introduction 1.1 Opening remarks and methodology During the two years of the PHAEDRA II project ( ), there have been several important meetings aimed at fulfilling PHAEDRA s goals those being, among others, identifying and analysing obstacles (legal and non-legal) and areas of opportunity (improvement) as well as developing a set of recommendations for improving practical cooperation between European DPAs. As the work of the project has always been informed by a constant interaction with all European DPAs, there were two relevant public workshops provided, in which the project results were put at the disposition of European DPAs. However, equally important was the on-going dialogue between the project consortium and the EU DPAs, the European Commission and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) through three roundtables addressed solely to these stakeholders. The present report offers a succinct overview of these five events. It elaborates on the goals of each of them and highlights the key issues addressed. These points are reproduced here in a quite raw form i.e. as they were raised and thus remain rather unedited under the Chatham House Rule. 1 They are accurate and valid at the time of the event in question. This report is eventually meant to serve as a reference point for further research. The agendas of each of these meetings as well as supporting material (e.g. presentation slides, if available) have been published on the PHAEDRA s projects website. 2 The website is intended to run beyond the conclusion of the PHAEDRA II project (i.e. 14 January 2017). 1.2 Background to the PHAEDRA and PHAEDRA II projects The main goal of the PHAEDRA II project or Improving Practical and Helpful co-operation between Data protection Authorities II ( ) is to identify, develop and recommend measures for improving practical cooperation between European Union DPAs. The PHAEDRA II project represents a natural continuation of an earlier project under the same name and builds on its results. The first PHAEDRA project ( ) focused on cooperation and coordination mechanisms between DPAs, privacy commissioners (PCs) and privacy enforcement agencies (PEAs) ( supervisory authorities ) around the world. It was aimed at adding value, complementing and supporting the initiatives of these supervisory authorities to improve international cooperation and coordination among them. The project analysed the state-of-the-art on the matter and having interacted with supervisory authorities via interviews, surveys and workshops advised policy-makers and supervisory authorities themselves how to improve their practical cooperation and coordination, in parallel raising awareness about the problem at stake. The first PHAEDRA project concluded with two sets of recommendations: 1.

Enforcing privacy: lessons from current implementations and perspectives for the future, Wydawnictwo Sejmowe, Warszawa, 2015, pp Whilst the first PHAEDRA project focused on supervisory authorities cooperation on a global scale, the core interest of the second phase lay in the practical cooperation of European Union DPAs. PHAEDRA II was focused on the challenges for cooperation arising both from the reform of the EU data protection framework as well as from the EU framework in force. The project tackled three of the biggest challenges facing EU DPAs: ensuring consistency, sharing different types of information (including confidential or otherwise privileged information) and coordination and cooperation regarding enforcement actions. 1 The Rule spells out: When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.

6 2 Workshops 2.1 Amsterdam 2015 Photo 1: Panel I at the first PHAEDRA II workshop (Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 27 October 2015). From the left: Piotr Drobek (GIODO), Wojciech R. Wiewiórowski (EDPS), Karolina Mojzesowicz (EC), Jacob Kohnstamm (Dutch DPA) and Paul De Hert (VUB) Description The first workshop entitled "Cooperation between DPAs under the GDPR: prospects, practicalities and a to-do list" was held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on 27 October 2015 in the framework of the 37 th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC). The goal of the first workshop, addressed to DPAs and selected policy-makers, was to present the first results of the project as well as to discuss several urgent issues concerning the new model of cooperation under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), overcoming the barriers for efficient cooperation between DPAs and the upcoming agenda for data protection reform. The workshop consisted of the following panels: Panel I Are we ready for the new model of cooperation under the GDPR? The purpose was to share views and thoughts regarding the then-pending trilogue on the GDPR, as well as discuss main issues arising from the GDPR devoted to DPA cooperation, namely: the efficiency of the onestop-shop mechanism, key roles for the future European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the impact of national procedures on effective DPA cooperation. Panel II Costs, languages, human resources how to overcome practical barriers for efficient cooperation between DPAs? The conclusion of the Deliverable D1 of the PHAEDRA II project "Authorities views on the impact of the data protection framework reform on their cooperation in the EU" 5 stated that most DPAs anticipated a significant, strong impact from the passing of the GDPR in general, and particularly for cooperation between European DPAs. Apart from these, still the linguistic and budgetary barriers remain a key topic of discussion. Therefore, the panel focused on practical examples showing how to overcome those barriers, by e.g. presenting already developed improvement solutions for cooperation and introducing best practices form other fields of law. Panel III What would be at the reform agenda after 2015? The final panel was devoted to the upcoming agenda for the data protection reform and conclusions resulting therefrom. How to prepare for the GDPR and when should certain steps be taken? Key issues addressed 1) Shadows and lights of the GDPR. The majority of data protection professionals are quite enthusiastic with regard to the GDPR. Harmonised rules for the processing of personal data to avoid forum shopping, the consistency mechanism as a remedy for the lack of efficiency in handling transnational cases and reinforced competences of DPAs across the EU all these legal facilities cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, the GDPR seems to be a huge challenge for DPAs, since a wide spectrum of issues is likely to be accompanied by practical and operational 5 Barnard-Wills, David and David Wright, Authorities views on the impact of the data protection framework reform on their co-operation in the EU, PHAEDRA II Deliverable D1: London-Brussels-Warsaw-Castellón, July
7 arrangements. The choice of an official language for cooperation purposes can serve as a great example here. 2) GDPR an instrument directly binding, but demanding national legislative actions. There is a huge challenge for Member States how does the GDPR affect national laws? The whole community of EU DPAs recognised the need to adapt their national law systems to the requirements of the GDPR and since personal data protection rules touch upon several sectors and fields of law a scale of this work is a challenge. Moreover, there is a need for greater cooperation between DPAs while adapting new procedural rules (including those regarding the functioning of national DPAs). With respect to the procedural autonomy of Member States, each EU country is expected to provide new procedural rules for DPAs, so as to be corresponding to new duties and powers of EU DPAs. To make it in comprehensive way, DPAs should inform each other about developments in this matter. 3) Solidarity. How to achieve consistent application of the GDPR throughout Europe? Cooperation between DPAs based on solidarity can come to rescue. The GDPR brings legal grounds for cooperation, but at the end of the day it seems that the success of this collaborations depends equally on the willingness to work for the common good, both jointly and separately. The principle of solidarity would minimise the risk of DPAs working at two speeds. 4) Soft elements. Cooperation between EU DPAs would not be grounded only on the GDPR and alike texts complementing the reform of the EU data protection framework. Some soft elements would constitute equally important grounds for cooperation, for example trust, solidarity among authorities (above mentioned), inter-personal relations as well as as one of the panellists pointed out emotions within the EDPB. 5) Role of the European Data Protection Board. A key point of discussion was the extent to which the EDPB, created as a legal entity by the GDPR, would be a functional organisation or simply a collective body of DPAs in a manner similar to the Article 29 Working Party (WP29). Similarly, the extent and frequency with which the Board is expected to act was also debated. 6) As of 2015, the Council of Europe awaits the conclusion of the EU reform of the data protection law to conclude its modernisation of Convention 108. It should be recalled that on the European soil (and beyond) there is another pending reform of data protection law: the one of the sole international legally binding instrument, Convention 108. Next to the GDPR and the Police and Judicial Cooperation Data Protection Directive in the EU, there is since 2010 a pending reform of the Convention 108 at the Council of Europe (CoE). (As this instrument is open for accession to non-european countries, and already gathers some 50 countries, this reform transcends the European frontiers.) The CoE awaits the final text of these two instruments before concluding its own reform, notably to preserve the consistency of both frameworks. The Convention, by its nature, is an instrument at a greater level of generality than the very detailed and prescriptive GDPR. Thus it can require the same data protection goals to be achieved and at the same time it can avoid resorting to some concrete solutions that have proven to be controversial. 7) An action plan beyond the GDPR. As a concluding question, the panellist were asked what else not mentioned earlier at the panel needs to be done to conclude the reform of both European legal frameworks for personal data protection. The panellists mentioned the need to update eprivacy Directive and Regulation 45/2001 to live up to the GDPR standards. 7
8 2.2 Marrakesh 2016 Photo 2: Panel I at the second PHAEDRA II workshop (Marrakesh, Morocco, 18 October 2016). From the left: Stephen Wong (DPA Hong Kong), Dariusz Kloza (VUB), Zuzana Zoláková (Slovakian DPA) and Florence Raynal (French DPA) Description 18 October 2016 in Marrakesh brought about the second workshop: In cooperation we (will) trust. The workshop used a successful formula of combining a PHAEDRA event with the ICDPPC. During the PHAEDRA II project meetings in 2015 and 2016, one particular issue gained special significance the notion of trust. It was the discussion on the grounds of DPAs cooperation where the importance of trust appeared in each of three scheduled panels: Panel I: Legal rules for cooperation limited power? Is the new legal framework enough to establish efficient cooperation? The first panel was focused on the practical aspects of DPAs cooperation. Participants tried to establish whether forms of soft regulation and practical agreements would benefit DPAs more. Examples from other fields of law (e.g. competition or consumer protection law) were given to bring new ideas while establishing cooperation between DPAs. Panel II: Bases for cooperation what options do we have? Searching for real commitment to cooperation In the second panel, participants tackled the question of the bases and the options for cooperation that DPAs have in practice. How exactly can DPAs cooperate? What possibilities and tools will the GDPR grant them? (One-stop-shop, mutual assistance, joint operations, etc.) How to fully use the potential these mechanisms give? The question arises does the GDPR allow DPAs to develop cooperation in other modes? If so, under what circumstances? Can we go beyond the GDPR while establishing cooperation and can we thus cooperate on a basis of some non-binding agreements? The panellists also considered the possibilities provided by Convention 108 with its own cooperation mechanisms. Panel III: IT tools for enhanced cooperation the power of technology. Building confidence in the quality of information The third panel continued this practical trend of examining the IT tools available to support enhanced cooperation. When DPAs share information between themselves (sometimes confidential information), they have to be sure that it is dealt with in a trusted and safe way. In an attempt to develop DPAs collaboration, information technology resources (such as specialized databases) may be highly beneficial in providing knowledge of other DPAs decisions, comparative analysis of legislation, data privacy jurisprudence or international agreements, among other significant documents. This is why building a secure IT platform could be a milestone in developing efficient cooperation in general. This aligns with the call in the Resolution on International Enforcement Cooperation, adopted at the 38 th Conference. 6 Following on from the conclusions of the 2016 annual International Enforcement Cooperation event, the resolution recommends exploring the feasibility of creating a database of each authority s legal powers to cooperate, evidence-gathering requirements, definitions of personal data and confidential data, which can help the Conference members to easily identify partner authorities in a case. 6 Cf. 8
9 2.2.2 Key issues addressed 9) Enforcement cooperation. A keynote presentation brought up an overview of on-going efforts in enforcement cooperation and in particular the Enforcement Cooperation Handbook presented by the ICO (UK DPA). 7 Significant progress has been made in recent years to enhance arrangements for cross-border enforcement cooperation. Several DPAs have already signed up as participants to the Global Cross-Border Enforcement Cooperation Arrangement (i.e. Mauritius Arrangement), 8 which promotes a common understanding and approach to cooperation. This emphasises the importance DPAs attach to improving international cooperation. The Enforcement Cooperation Handbook takes a practical view as to how we can all better work internationally and it demonstrates that there are already several positive practical examples. 10) Learning by example. Whilst the GDPR sets out very precise rules for DPAs cooperation, it seems, however, that in some circumstances the legal framework for cooperation needs to be accompanied by practical solutions. Are, therefore, some soft regulation or practical arrangements needed to facilitate this process and to build more and more trusted cooperation? As the PHAEDRA II project showed in its second deliverable, 9 examples from other fields of law (e.g. competition or consumer protection law) can also bring new ideas while establishing cooperation between DPAs. The discussion also covered existing forms of cooperation outside of the GDPR such as the International Conference itself, the Council of Europe's Convention 108 and the platform provided by its Committee, and the activities of the Baltic group of DPAs. 11) Semantics matter. The question posed in the title of the first panel is the new legal framework enough to establish efficient cooperation? contains at least three notions that require further consideration: new, legal and efficient. The new framework is not the ultimate remedy for all data protection problems in the EU. This is not because it would be out-dated in a decade or so, but also because there already exist sets of law in place (i.e. old laws) that can equally achieve data protection goals. Next, legal framework does not exhaust the picture of personal data protection framework. There exist in the popular Lessig s classification 10 at least three other modalities of regulation that can produce desired goals: market forces ( we can pay DPAs to enforce privacy ), social norms ( tradition in my country obliges me to solve a privacy case, we ve always been doing so ) and architecture (code) ( we can lock DPAs in a room until they issue together an enforcement decision ). Finally, and it was repeated on many occasions throughout the lifetime of the PHAEDRA project, efficient is one step further than effective. Effective produces results, but efficient production of these results involves the least waste of resources. All these three criteria cannot escape the attention of both the DPAs themselves and regulators while these stakeholders are trying to fill in the gaps. 12) IT tools necessary for efficient DPAs cooperation. This aligns with the call in the Resolution on International Enforcement Cooperation adopted at the 38 th International Conference. 11. The discussion on this topic built upon previous discussions to which PHAEDRA II had been a party, going into some detail on the required levels of interoperability, and highlighting other technological platforms and standards that could be suitable for the IT platform being developed by the EDPS. 7 Cf. 8 Cf. 9 Galetta, Antonella, Dariusz Kloza and Paul De Hert, Cooperation among data privacy supervisory authorities by analogy: lessons from parallel European mechanisms, PHAEDRA II Deliverable D2.1: Brussels-London-Warsaw-Castellón, April Lawrence Lessig, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Basic Books, New York Cf. supra, note 6. 9
10 3 Roundtables 3.1 Brussels Description During the first roundtable, entitled Cooperation of data protection authorities, inside and outside Europe, which took place in Brussels, Belgium on 28 January 2016 in the framework of 9 th Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) Conference 12 further important issues have been discussed. This roundtable was split into two parts. The first discussed DPAs views on the impact of the data protection framework reform on their cooperation in the EU. The PHAEDRA II project had interviewed European DPAs regarding: the main developments of the GDPR including the consistency mechanism, one-stop shop, the EDPB and their impact on cooperation between European DPAs; challenges to cooperation and coordination between European DPAs; cooperation on enforcement, and the perspectives of the DPAs on the activities of the PHAEDRA II project. The resulting report 13 provided an overview of the perspectives of European DPAs at that key stage in the data protection reform process, and in particular of areas where further work was required, and identified issues that will need to be debated in more detail. Therefore, the first part summarized the findings of PHAEDRA II research thus far and moved onto deeper discussion of key outstanding areas, including the practical debate about the extent to which structure and formalisation are necessary or desirable for more effective cooperation and coordination between European DPAs, issues of language use and translation costs in cross-border cases, and the requirements for future tools and platforms. The second part was devoted to the notion of cooperation of European DPAs with their counterparts from outside the EU in the reformed framework. Furthermore, two issues have been raised during the roundtable. First, the participants discussed the issues arising from the invalidation of the Safe Harbour Agreement by the CJEU. Second, after the conclusion of the 37 th ICDPPC (Amsterdam 2015), a possibility for DPAs arrived to adhere to the Global Cross Border Enforcement Cooperation Arrangement, adopted at the 36 th ICDPPC (Mauritius 2014). The said Arrangement, however, raises a number of practical problems worth debating and these concern its legal nature and efficiency, among others. The roundtable s aim was to contribute towards the PHAEDRA II project s recommendations and identification of best practice. The event was addressed to DPAs from the EU and worldwide, policymakers, privacy advocates and academics Key issues addressed 13) Global scene of DPAs cooperation. During the event this aspect gained significant importance. Given the uncertainty of adequacy decisions (cf. the Safe Harbour case), legal obstacles in many EU countries for accessing the Global Cross-Border Enforcement Cooperation Arrangement and limited regulation of this aspect in the GDPR (one and only Article 50), the roundtable participants agreed on the need to establish (or develop existing ones) informal practical fora of cooperation among DPAs all around the world. 14) Language issues around EU DPA cooperation. Relating to challenges of different linguistic requirements in mutual assistance, the fairness (or otherwise) of any resulting system, requirements of national laws, and how costs are likely to fall upon DPAs, concerns around quality assurance of translated documents, the rights of data subjects to documentation in their own languages, and the potential for standardised forms and templates to assist with some language issues. 15) IT platforms and requirements. Requirements for trusted electronic communication and potential benefits from shared platforms, status of on-going EDPS work on platforms for the EDPB, challenges of getting DPAs to use any given IT tool, and the differences between tools and platforms for collaboration and those for joint public communication. 12 Cf Barnard-Wills & Wright, Authorities views, op. cit. 10
11 3.2 Budapest 2016 Photo 3: Participants at the second roundtable of the PHAEDRA II project (Budapest, Hungary, 25 May 2016) Description On 25 May 2016 the second roundtable was held, this time focusing on the Cooperation between DPAs under the GDPR: the issue of the diversity of national legal systems. This workshop took place just in advance of the Spring Conference of European DPAs, held in Budapest and hosted by the Hungarian DPA. This roundtable was also a joint meeting between the PHAEDRA II project partners, and the Cooperation Sub-Group of the WP29. During the meeting in Budapest, the participants focused on the following issues: Panel I Criminal justice and police cooperation national differences The main question set forth during this panel was about practical instruments serving as examples for enhanced cooperation between DPAs. The panel focused on different levels of cooperation between DPAs. The most basic one being the case-by-case cooperation. As it was pointed out, once cooperation on a caseby-case basis is successful and when there are sufficient common interests, cooperation on a case-by-case basis may be followed by a next level of cooperation: structural cooperation. This is the case in the EU, for instance within the WP29, where EU DPAs jointly work on large projects, such as the recent opinion on the Privacy Shield. Finally, a form of cooperation proposed by the GDPR has been discussed cooperation based on a truly common responsibility. Panel II The challenges of a consistent application. How level the playing field would be? Since the DPAs currently play and pursuant to the new regulatory framework will keep on playing a key role in ensuring the uniform application of European data protection law, it seems obvious that the set of applicable rules, including both Union and Member State law, fundamentally affects DPAs cooperation, in particular with regard to cross-border processing situations. One of the targets of the panel was to map the relevant provisions of the GDPR in order to define the room for manoeuvre national lawmakers may make use of when implementing the Regulation in their respective legal systems. In addition, the panel endeavoured to explore the potential impact of national data protection legal norms on the cooperation of DPAs Key issues addressed 16) Truly shared responsibility. As DPAs have more and more common interests, and with the GDPR structural cooperation will have to develop into something more. No longer think of cooperating with other DPAs but accept that they have a shared responsibility for the consistent application of the new Regulation. This will require more trust and will not be without obstacles. 17) Best practices for joint investigations and operations. Using experiences in criminal justice cooperation, as well as experiences from previous EU and extra-eu joint investigations, the panel participants discussed existing best practices and success factors in join investigations, including in particular the importance of recognising strengths and weaknesses, and taking time to build working, sustainable relationships. 18) Human resources issues relating to international cooperation. The roundtable participants discussed the ways in which internal organisational structures had an impact upon international cooperation, including language skills of case-handling staff, maintaining personal contact networks and international cooperation expertise during staff changes. 19) Threats for consistent application of the GDPR. DPAs need to find common interpretation of the Regulation, both for consistency and for improved relationships. In particular, what exactly will mutual assistance be? This needs to be sorted out before the Regulation enters into force, 11
12 otherwise this could be counterproductive and inconsistent. The issue of administrative fines for public sector was also raised, in the context of consistent application. Since the GDPR states that each Member State may lay down the rules on whether and to what extent administrative fines may be imposed on public authorities and bodies established in that Member State, there is a crucial need for coordinated application of this provision in national law. 20) GDPR derogations might affect cooperation between DPAs. There are over 60 provisions where the GDPR provides the EU Member States legislatures with certain room for manoeuvre to adopt/maintain national legislation. These pieces of legislation might affect cooperation of DPAs. They should try to identify and discuss practical tools and techniques to facilitate future cooperation, making them able to apply the law together such as developing cooperation tools, including formal (consistency, mutual assistance, joint operations) and informal mechanisms (workshops, symposia, etc.). David Barnard-Wills provided a detailed account of the debate at the Budapest roundtable on the PHAEDRA II blog Brussels (II) Description Finally, on 13 December 2016 in Brussels, Belgium the third and the final roundtable took place. After receiving confirmation from the Chairman of the WP29 that there will be time allocated for PHAEDRA during the second day of the WP29 plenary meeting, PHAEDRA representatives introduced the latest updates of the project (including the DPA Cooperation Scorecard) 15 and opened the floor for discussion. This integrated roundtable allowed for an opportunity provide input on PHEADRA s activity and to consult its work within the representative group of DPAs attending the plenary meeting Key issues addressed 21) Key element of the presentation was the DPA Cooperation Scorecard as a visualisation accessory that may be used as a metric for the efficiency of both regulation and practice. The scorecard identifies and evaluates existing and planned DPAs cooperation networks against a set of efficiency criteria. The list of criteria, for the time being, was tentative. The meeting with DPAs was a great opportunity to face these criteria and get some feedback form DPAs. 4 Third-party events 4.1 Art 29 Working Party meetings While preparing documents (guidelines, opinions, FAQs) of the WP29 regarding the GDPR, European DPAs recognised the need to examine in practice the cooperation mechanisms laid down in the GDPR. To this end, a set of practical workshops was held in Brussels on 31 August 2 September Among tested tools were: Imposing administrative fines to reach a common understanding on the criteria which are relevant in the assessment of whether to impose an administrative fine and to create the foundation of a consistent practice to calculate the amount of fine to impose, Mutual assistance procedure a relevant template was examined, Joint operations to test case flow diagrams through various scenarios of joint operations, One-stop-shop mechanism to test and improve the proposed procedure for cooperation between lead supervisory authority and concerned authority on draft decisions. 14 Cf.

13 PHAEDRA II consortium was invited to take part in these workshops and the representative of the consortium played an active role therein. 4.2 Other events PHAEDRA II project consortium partners were also present on the following third-parties events: David Barnard-Wills represented PHAEDRA II at a roundtable event The model of the completely independent DPAs: main tensions and usefulness in other domains, held on 5 February 2016 in the Law Faculty at University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The roundtable compared and contrasted the actual practices of DPAs with the abstract requirements of EU law, and was attended by several representatives of the EDPS as well as academic and practitioners experts in European data protection law European Conference of Data Protection Authorities [Spring Conference] in Manchester, England (UK), May 2015, where Paul De Hert (VUB-LSTS) offered a presentation on Ulrich Beck, mutual and societal trust in a globalised world. On 18 July 2016 in Seoul, Republic of Korea during the Korea-EU Personal Data Protection Seminar, Dariusz Kloza (VUB-LSTS) presented on The new European framework for cooperation between data protection authorities and its relevance to Korea s enforcement system An internal seminar at the Office of Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand on 3 June Wellington was a venue of another presentation by Dariusz Kloza (VUB-LSTS), entitled International cooperation of data privacy supervisory authorities: European and New Zealand perspectives. It was stated by that in the reformed EU data privacy legal framework, there is only a single provision (Art 50 GDPR) dealing with cooperation of European data privacy supervisory authorities with their counterparts from other jurisdictions. (Whereas intra-eu cooperation is provided with a lengthy and comprehensive procedure therefor.) In parallel, the modernisation proposals for Convention 108 of the Council of Europe provide the possibility for the supervisory authorities from the Contracting Parties to form a network. These two developments open a path for a genuine cooperation in making data privacy protection practical and effective. In this interactive talk, views were exchanged as to the future shape of cooperation of European authorities with the Office of Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand. Paul De Hert (VUB-LSTS) introduced The Role of Regulatory Authorities in the Governance of Data Protection: Workshop series on the governance of privacy and data protection at Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) in Berlin, Germany on 20 May Internationales Rechtsinformatik Symposion IRIS 2016: Networks/Netzwerke, held in Salzburg, Austria, February Antonella Galetta and Dariusz Kloza (VUB-LSTS) presented Cooperation among data privacy supervisory authorities by analogy: lessons from parallel European mechanisms. 8ème Conférence de l Association francophone des autorités de protection des données personnelles (AFAPDP) in Brussels, Belgium, 25 June Antonella Galetta and Dariusz Kloza (VUB-LSTS) took part. 13
