EU Data Act · Chapter IX · Implementation and Enforcement
Article 37
Competent authorities and data coordinators
Precise reading
Member States designate competent authorities (and a data coordinator where several); powers, cooperation, and complaint-handling machinery are established; data protection authorities keep their GDPR remit.
A summary of the operative demand, not the statute.
Plain reading
Who enforces all this in each country — and the one desk (the coordinator) that fronts it.
Paraphrase.
