1. 474 +Addition Julie Rechagneux +7ECR, PfE · ITRE–LIBE “The processing of personal data should not give rise to profiling or to manipulative techniques contrary to Union law, in particular as regards…” numbered 46b

   (46b)The processing of personal data should not give rise to profiling or to manipulative techniques contrary to Union law, in particular as regards behavioural targeting and the protection of children; the prohibitions and safeguards of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 continue to apply. Scientific research does not include processing whose principal object is to observe, profile or influence the behaviour of natural persons for commercial purposes, in particular behavioural advertising or the commercial targeting of individuals, even where scientific methods are used; this is without prejudice to fundamental or applied research, including where it delivers benefits in the general interest.

   Justification

   The broadening of research purposes must not allow processing whose principal object is behavioural targeting to be re-labelled as scientific research. The criterion retained is the principal object of the processing, not the method employed.

2. 475 +Addition Marina Kaljurand +8S&D · ITRE–LIBE “In order to safeguard the security and integrity of networks and services, the use of end-to-end encryption should be promoted and, where necessary…” numbered 46b

   (46b)In order to safeguard the security and integrity of networks and services, the use of end-to-end encryption should be promoted and, where necessary, be mandatory in accordance with the principles of security and privacy by design. Member States should not impose any obligation on encryption providers, on providers of electronic communications services or on any other organisations (at any level of the supply chain) that would result in the weakening of the security of their networks and services, such as the creation or facilitation of ‘backdoors’.
