Article 32g – Monitoring of compliance

Its wording is printed below, under Article 32g, heading, (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5).

Monitoring of compliance

The competent authorities referred to in Article 32b shall supervise whether recognised data intermediation services providers and recognised data altruism organisations comply with the requirements laid down in this Chapter, including whether they continue to comply with the requirements for registration laid down therein. Those competent authorities may also monitor and supervise the compliance of data intermediation services providers and recognised data altruism organisations, on the basis of a request by a natural or legal person.

The competent authorities shall have the power to request from recognised data intermediation services providers or recognised data altruism organisations, or their legal representative, all the information that is necessary to verify compliance with the requirements laid down in this Chapter. Any request for information shall be proportionate to the performance of the task and shall be reasoned.

Where a competent authority finds that a recognised data intermediation services provider or a recognised data altruism organisation does not comply with one or more of the requirements laid down in this Chapter, it shall notify that entity, or its legal representative, of those findings and give it the opportunity to state its views, within 30 days of the receipt of the notification.

The competent authority shall have the power to require the cessation of the non-compliance referred to in paragraph 3 either immediately or within a reasonable time limit and shall take appropriate and proportionate measures with the aim of ensuring compliance.

If a recognised data intermediation services provider or a recognised data altruism organisation does not comply with one or more of the requirements laid down in this Chapter even after having been notified in accordance with paragraph 3, that entity shall:

lose its right to use the label referred to in Article 32a in written and spoken communication;

be removed from the public Union register referred to in Article 32a.

Any decision revoking the right to use the label as referred to in the first subparagraph, point (a), shall be made public by the competent authority and shall be notified to the Commission. The Commission shall remove the entity from the public Union register.
