    4a. In Article 8, the following paragraph is added:

    Data holders and data recipients that comply with a code of conduct drawn up by industry associations and recognised by the Commission shall be presumed to comply with the requirement to make data available under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions laid down in paragraph 1. The Commission may recognise such codes of conduct, taking into account the advice of the EDIB.

    (new)

    Justification

    Data holders and recipients complying with a code of conduct drawn up by industry associations and recognised by the Commission are presumed to comply with the requirement of fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. The presumption is rebuttable and does not affect the mandatory character of the obligation to make data available. Sectoral codes provide legal certainty at lower cost, particularly for SMEs.
