The exchange of views between supervisory authorities prior to the submission of a draft decision involves an open dialogue and an extensive exchange of views where supervisory authorities should do their utmost to reach consensus on the way forward in an investigation. Conversely, disagreement expressed in relevant and reasoned objections pursuant to Article 60(4) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, which raise the potential for dispute resolution between supervisory authorities under Article 65 of that Regulation and delay the adoption of a final decision by the competent supervisory authority, should only arise in the case of a failure of supervisory authorities to reach consensus and where necessary to ensure the consistent interpretation of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Such objections should be used when matters of consistent enforcement of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 are at stake.
