A Belgian company has their headquarters in France for tax purposes. They enter into a legally binding contract with a processor in the Netherlands for the processing of personal data of data subjects with various nationalities. A personal data breach occurs. The supervisory authorities start an investigation. Why is the French supervisory authority seen as the lead supervisory authority?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Because France is located in the middle of Europe. Incorrect. The geographical position of the countries is irrelevant.

Because France is the largest of the three EEA countries. Incorrect. The size of the countries is irrelevant.

Because the company has their headquarters in France. Correct. The country of the main establishment determines the lead supervisory authority. The 'main establishment' is the place of the central administration of that organization, or in other words: headquarters. (Literature: A, Chapter 7)

I don't know, maybe the French supervisory authority is the lead because they have a certain je ne sais quoi that the others lack. But in all seriousness, it's got to be option A.

Haha, maybe France is the lead because they have the best wine and cheese to bribe the investigators with. Just kidding, but option A is clearly the right answer here.

User 1: Definitely option A, the company's headquarters being in France makes the French supervisory authority the lead.

France being the largest of the three countries doesn't necessarily mean they are the lead authority. It's all about where the company is headquartered, which is in France.

I'm not sure if France being in the middle of Europe has anything to do with it. Seems like a bit of a stretch. I'd go with option A.
