267 −Deletion Daniel BudaEPP · JURI Deletes the proposed article
The common criteria adopted by the Commission and referred to in article 41a of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 should apply to the processing of personal data under this Regulation.’Justification
The amendment is a direct consequence of the removal of the Article 41a proposed for the GDPR. If the Commission’s authority to adopt common criteria for pseudonymisation through implementing acts is not maintained, the automatic application of these criteria under Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 cannot be maintained either. The solution prevents the same legal vulnerability from extending to processing carried out by Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.
