  1. 266 Deletion Daniel BudaEPP · JURI Deletes the added sentences

    (a) in point 1, the following sentences are added: ‘Information relating to a natural person is not necessarily personal data for every other person or entity, merely because another entity can identify that natural person. Information shall not be personal for a given entity where that entity cannot identify the natural person to whom the information relates, taking into account the means reasonably likely to be used by that entity. Such information does not become personal for that entity merely because a potential subsequent recipient has means reasonably likely to be used to identify the natural person to whom the information relates.’

    Justification

    Amendamentul menține coerența dintre RGPD și Regulamentul (UE) 2018/1725 fără a prelua o restrângere contestată a noțiunii de date cu caracter personal. Dacă modificarea art. 4 pct. 1 din RGPD este eliminată, modificarea identică propusă pentru art. 3 pct. 1 din Regulamentul (UE) 2018/1725 trebuie eliminată în mod corespunzător. Soluția evită afectarea standardului unitar de protecție a datelor pentru persoane fizice atât în raport cu operatorii privați, cât și în raport cu instituțiile, organele, oficiile și agențiile Uniunii. Din perspectiva dreptului UE, aceasta păstrează încrederea în statul de drept și în protecția efectivă a persoanei.

    Information relating to a natural person is not necessarily personalidentifiable data for every other person or entity, merely because another entity can identify that natural person. Information shall not befall under the regime of personal data for a given entity where that entity cannot identify the natural person to whom the information relates, taking into account the means reasonably likely to be used by that entity. Such information does not become personalidentifiable for that entity merely because a potential subsequent recipient has means reasonably likely to be used to identify the natural person to whom the information relates.

    Justification

    Mirrors AM 134. The entity-relative definition is deleted; the definition of personal data remains unchanged.
