Call with Hamburg DPA

Hamburg DPA says that there has not been an update to the case itself. Hamburg DPA argues that they cannot enforce a decision, but we asked for having a decision anyway. They argue that Poland is not competent, as there is no establishment of PimEyes: If there is proof of existence of this establishment the Polish DPA might become active.
