Amendment 72· Data Act Article 32e(3)

Data intermediation services provider which meets the requirements set out in Article 32c may submit an application for registration in the public Union register of recognised data intermediation services providers to the competent authority referred to in Article 32b in the Member State in which they have their main establishment. Data altruism organisation which meets the requirements set out in Article 32d may submit an application for registration in the public Union register of recognised data altruism organisations to the competent authority referred to in Article 32b in the Member State in which they have their main establishment.

Data intermediation services providers and data altruism organisations that have no main establishment in the Union shall designate a legal representative in one of the Member States. The legal representative shall be mandated to be addressed in addition to or instead of the data intermediation services provider or data altruism organisation by competent authorities or data subjects and data holders. The legal representative shall cooperate with and comprehensively demonstrate to the competent authority, upon request, the actions taken and provisions put in place by the data intermediation services provider or the data altruism organisation to ensure compliance with this Regulation. The data intermediation services provider or data altruism organisation shall be deemed to be under the jurisdiction of the Member State in which the legal representative is located. The designation of a legal representative shall be without prejudice to any legal actions which could be initiated against the data intermediation services provider or data altruism organisation.

The competent authority may charge fees for the registration in accordance with national law. Such fees shall be proportionate and objective and be based on the administrative costs related to the monitoring of compliance. In the case of small-mid caps, small and medium-sized enterprises, and start-ups, the competent authority may charge a discounted fee or waive the fee.

Registered entities shall notify the competent authority of any subsequent changes to the information as provided during the application process or where they cease their data intermediation or data altruism activities in the Union.
