Furthermore, where there is only one supervisory authority in that Member State, that authority is, in principle, competent to monitor compliance with the GDPR on the part of the committee of inquiry. By contrast, where the committee of inquiry in fact carries out an activity that, as such, is intended to safeguard national security, it is not subject to the GDPR or, consequently, to monitoring on the part of the supervisory authority
