This can create differences in interpretation, with potentially serious ramifications for enforcement and compliance, so harmonising the legislation is a key concern for the EU Parliament. The corrigendum deals mainly with typographical and clerical errors for all language versions of the GDPR. Many of these had previously been requested by Member States for their own language versions.
