Amendment 856· Data Act Article 32x(3)

Where a re-user intends to transfer certain categories of protected data that are non- personal to a third country, it shall inform the public sector body of its intention to transfer such data and the purpose of such transfer at the time of requesting the re-use of the data. In the case of re-use based on the data holder’s permission the re-user shall, where appropriate with the assistance of the public sector body, inform the natural or legal person whose rights and interests may be affected of that intention, purpose and the appropriate safeguards. The public sector body shall not allow the re-use unless the natural or legal person gives permission for the transfer.

The Commission may adopt implementing acts establishing model contractual clauses for complying with the obligations referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article. Those model contractual clauses shall ensure the protection of trade secrets, the protection against the unauthorised transfer of knowledge, and the protection of the economic security of the Union and of its Member States. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 46(2).

Where justified because of the substantial number of requests across the Union concerning the re-use of non- personal data in specific third countries, the Commission may adopt implementing acts declaring that the legal, supervisory and enforcement arrangements of a third country:

Specific Union legislative acts may deem certain non-personal data categories held by public sector bodies to be highly sensitive for the purposes of this Article where their transfer to third countries may put at risk Union public policy objectives, such as safety and public health or may lead to the risk of re-identification of non- personal, anonymised data. Where such an act is adopted, the Commission shall adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 45 supplementing this Regulation by laying down special conditions applicable to the transfers of such data to third countries. If required by a specific Union legislative act referred to in the first subparagraph, such special conditions may include terms applicable for the transfer or technical arrangements in this regard, limitations with regard to the re-use of data in third countries or categories of persons entitled to transfer such data to third countries or, in exceptional cases, restrictions with regard to transfers to third countries. The re-user to whom the right to re-use non-personal data was granted may transfer the data only to those third countries for which the requirements set out in paragraphs 2, 4 and 5 are met.
