Text of the amendment

As tabled

Amending instruction

In Article 32j, the following paragraph is added:

Paragraph it would add

The re-use of data and documents under this Chapter shall not entail their transfer to, or access by, a third-country authority or a natural or legal person established in a third country where such transfer or access would be liable to harm public security, the resilience and continuity of essential services, or the national and economic security of the Union or of a Member State.'

Data Act Article 32j with this amendment

Amendment 803 applied to the Commission proposal, no other amendment

Unchanged: (1) and (2)
1.

Any applicable conditions for the re-use of data or documents shall be non- discriminatory, transparent, proportionate and objectively justified with regard to the categories of data or documents and the purposes of re-use and the nature of the data or documents for which re-use is allowed. Those conditions shall not be used to restrict competition. This principle shall equally apply for comparable categories of re-use, including for cross-border re-use.

2.

If data or documents are re-used by a public sector body as input for its commercial activities which fall outside the scope of its public tasks, the same charges and other conditions shall apply to the supply of the data or documents for those activities as the ones that apply to other re-users.

2a.

The re-use of data and documents under this Chapter shall not entail their transfer to, or access by, a third-country authority or a natural or legal person established in a third country where such transfer or access would be liable to harm public security, the resilience and continuity of essential services, or the national and economic security of the Union or of a Member State.'

Justification

Prohibits the re-identification of data subjects from anonymised datasets, the unlawful use of such data, and their transfer to entities reasonably likely to be able to re-identify the data subjects. Without such a prohibition, the anonymisation regime would be devoid of any sanction for its circumvention. The prohibition does not preclude research into anonymisation techniques carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

Target
