(1a) In Article 32i, the following paragraph is inserted:
Public sector bodies allowing the re-use of data and documents under this Chapter shall apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent the re-identification of pseudonymised data, personal data breaches, and any unlawful acquisition, use, disclosure or transfer of the data. Where the data are made available in pseudonymised or anonymised form, state-of-the-art privacy-preserving and privacy-enhancing techniques shall be applied to that effect. Data and documents relating to natural persons, or protected by trade secrets or by a legal obligation of confidentiality relating to legal persons, shall be made available for re-use only where they have been anonymised or, where anonymisation is not possible, subject to appropriate safeguards, including such techniques and binding conditions on the re-user preventing any re-identification or misuse.'
Justification
Public sector bodies allowing the re-use of data must apply appropriate technical and organisational measures. The amendment requires reliance on state-of-the-art privacy-preserving techniques — anonymisation, pseudonymisation, aggregation, disclosure control, encryption, secure processing environments — proportionate to the nature of the data and the level of risk, so as to enable broad re-use while maintaining a high level of protection.
