    (24b)In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the principles of data protection should not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person, or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable. Re-identification of data subjects from anonymised datasets should be prohibited. This should not prejudice the possibility to conduct research into anonymisation techniques, in particular for the purpose of ensuring information security, improving existing anonymisation techniques and contributing to the overall robustness of anonymisation, undertaken in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

    Justification

    The prohibition of re-identification is the necessary corollary of any anonymisation regime. Its disappearance with the repeal of the DGA would leave the new definition of anonymised data without a sanction for its circumvention.

    (24b)The development of data-intensive and automated processing technologies has contributed to a shift from individual or limited access to data towards large-scale and continuous reuse of data, whereby identical datasets may generate significantly different economic value depending on the capabilities of the undertaking processing them.
