3.In the cases referred to in points (a) and (c) of paragraph 2, the data controller shall apply suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain meaningful human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision. Human intervention is meaningful when the person in charge of the review has the requisite authority, knowledge and expertise to amend the contested decision and actively analyses the set of relevant data, going beyond the outcome produced by the system. In proceedings concerning access to agricultural credit, the setting of premiums for agricultural insurance policies and the disbursement of payments under the common agricultural policy, the person responsible for the review shall also possess the technical and agronomic expertise relevant to the proceedings in question.

is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller regardless of whether the decision could be taken otherwise than by solely automated means;
is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
In the cases referred to in points (a) and (c) of paragraph 2, the data controller shall implementapply suitable measures to safeguard the data subject'ssubject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain meaningful human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Justification
L’emendamento contribuisce alla riarticolazione dell’articolo 22, paragrafo 3, del regolamento (UE) 2016/679, che la proposta della Commissione non modifica, in coerenza con l’emendamento 53 del Draft Report, ma ne specifica le particolarità degli impatti sugli imprenditori agricoli europei. Alla qualificazione dell’intervento umano come significativo aggiunge il requisito della competenza tecnica e agronomica del revisore nei procedimenti che coinvolgono imprese agricole. La revisione umana di una decisione automatizzata sull’erogazione di un pagamento nell’ambito della politica agricola comune, sul merito creditizio agrario o sul premio di una polizza parametrica richiede, per essere effettiva, la conoscenza dei meccanismi di condizionalità, dei parametri agronomici e dei sistemi integrati di controllo. Il presente emendamento può essere depositato come emendamento autonomo al testo della proposta oppure come sub-emendamento all’emendamento 53 del Draft Report.
