1. The EPPO shall maintain a record of all categories of processing activities under its responsibility. That record shall contain all of the following information:
(a) its contact details and the name and the contact details of the data protection officer;
(b) the purposes of the processing;
(c) a description of the categories of data subjects and of the categories of operational personal data;
(d) the categories of recipients to whom the operational personal data have been or will be disclosed including recipients in third countries or international organisations;
(e) where applicable, transfers of operational personal data to a third country or an international organisation, including the identification of that third country or international organisation;
(f) where possible, the envisaged time limits for erasure of the different categories of data;
(g) where possible, a general description of the technical and organisational security measures referred to in Article 73.
The wording of Article 68(1) point (e) was apparently “copied” from Article 30(1) point (e) GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). However, as witnessed by the chapeau of Article 68(1), it presumably intends to refer to ‘categories of transfers of operational personal data’ rather than records of all such transfers.
2. The records referred to in paragraph 1 shall be in writing, including in electronic form.
3. The EPPO shall make the record available to the European Data Protection Supervisor on request.

Recitals 91–95 of the EPPO Regulation
(91) Consistent and homogeneous application of the rules for the protection of individuals’ fundamental rights and freedoms with regard to the processing of personal data should be ensured throughout the Union.
(92) Declaration No 21 on the protection of personal data in the fields of judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation, annexed to the TEU and to the TFEU, provides that specific rules on the protection of personal data and the free movement of such data in the fields of judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation based on Article 16 TFEU may prove to be necessary because of the specific nature of these fields.
(93) The rules of this Regulation on the protection of personal data should be interpreted and applied in accordance with the interpretation and application of Directive (EU) 2016/680 of the European Parliament and of the Council ¹), which will apply to the processing of personal data by competent authorities of the Member States of the European Union for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties.
(94) The data protection principle of fair processing is a distinct notion from the right to a fair trial as defined in Article 47 of the Charter and in Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
(95) The data protection provisions of this Regulation are without prejudice to the applicable rules on the admissibility of personal data as evidence in criminal court proceedings.
¹) Directive (EU) 2016/680 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 89).
