Recital 40

(40) The data holders can be public, non for profit or private health or care providers, public, non for profit and private organisations, associations or other entities, public and private entities that carry out research with regards to the health sector that process the categories of health and health related data mentioned above. In order to avoid a disproportionate burden on small entities, micro-enterprises are excluded from the obligation to make their data available for secondary use in the framework of EHDS. The public or private entities often receive public funding, from national or Union funds to collect and process electronic health data for research, statistics (official or not) or other similar purposes, including in area where the collection of such data is fragmented of difficult, such as rare diseases, cancer etc. Such data, collected and processed by data holders with the support of Union or national public funding, should be made available by data holders to health data access bodies, in order to maximise the impact of the public investment and support research, innovation, patient safety or policy making benefitting the society. In some Member States, private entities, including private healthcare providers and professional associations, play a pivotal role in the health sector. The health data held by such providers should also be made available for secondary use. At the same time, data benefiting from specific legal protection such as intellectual property from medical device companies or pharmaceutical companies ~~often enjoy copyright protection or similar types of protection~~shall be granted the level of protection of confidential information mandated by Article 39(2) of the TRIPS Agreement and the Trade Secrets Directive (2016/943) with the protection of the main IP rights i.e. patents, SPCs, utility models, copyright, trademarks, database rights (as per Directive 96/9/EC), design rights, etc.. However, public authorities and regulators should have access to such data, for instance in the event of pandemics, to verify defective devices and protect human health. In times of severe public health concerns (for example, PIP breast implants fraud) it appeared very difficult for public authorities to get access to such data to understand the causes and knowledge of manufacturer concerning the defects of some devices. The COVID-19 pandemic also revealed the difficulty for policy makers to have access to health data and other data related to health. Such data should be made available for public and regulatory activities, supporting public bodies to carry out their legal mandate, while complying with, where relevant and possible, the protection enjoyed by commercial data. Specific rules in relation to the secondary use of health data should be provided. Data altruism activities may be carried out by different entities, in the context of Regulation […] [Data Governance Act COM/2020/767 final] and taking into account the specificities of the health sector.

(13) In particular, online intermediation services, online search engines, operating systems (which include digital voice assistants, connected TVs and in-car infotainment systems), online social networking, video sharing platform services, number- independent interpersonal communication services, cloud computing services, web browsers and online advertising services all have the capacity to affect a large number of end users and businesses alike, which entails a risk of unfair business practices. They therefore should be included in the definition of core platform services and fall into the scope of this Regulation. Online intermediation services may also be active in the field of financial services, and they may intermediate or be used to provide such services as listed non-exhaustively in Annex II to Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council32 . In certain circumstances, the notion of end users should encompass users that are traditionally considered business users, but in a given situation do not use the core platform services to provide goods or services to other end users, such as for example businesses relying on cloud computing services for their own purposes. _________________ 32Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 September 2015 laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical regulations and of rules on Information Society services, OJ L 241, 17.9.2015, p. 1.

(42) The conditions under which gatekeepers provide online advertising services to business users including both advertisers and publishers are often non- transparent and opaque. This opacity is partly linked to the practices of a few platforms, but is also due to the sheer complexity of modern day programmatic advertising. The sector is considered to have become more non-transparent after the introduction of new privacy legislation, and is expected to become even more opaque with the ~~announced removal of third-party cookies~~unilateral decision- making by industry actors that are not representative of the entire advertising value chain. This often leads to a lack of information and knowledge for advertisers and publishers about the conditions of the advertising services they purchased and undermines their ability to switch to alternative providers of online advertising services. Furthermore, the costs of online advertising are likely to be higher than they would be in a fairer, more transparent and contestable platform environment. These higher costs are likely to be reflected in the prices that end users pay for many daily products and services relying on the use of online advertising. Transparency obligations should therefore require gatekeepers to provide advertisers and publishers to whom they supply online advertising services, w~~hen requested and to the extent possibl~~ith free of charge, effective, high-quality, continuous and real-time, with information that allows both sides to understand the price paid for each of the different advertising services provided as part of the relevant advertising value chain and the availability and visibility of advertisement.

Therefore, this Regulation should include in its scope projects of mutual interest where they are sustainable and able to demonstrate significant net socio-economic benefits for ~~at least two~~one or more Member States and at least one third country. Such projects would be eligible for inclusion in the Union list upon conditions of ~~regulatory approximation with~~consistency of the third country’s policy objectives with the overall policy objective of the Union and upon demonstrating a contribution to the Union’s overall energy and climate objectives in terms of security of supply and decarbonisation. Such ~~regulatory~~policy objective alignment or convergence should be presumed for the European Economic Area or, the Energy Community Contracting Parties. In addition, the third country with which the Union cooperates in the development of projects of mutual interest should facilitate a similar timeline for accelerated implementation and other policy support measures, as stipulated in this Regulation. Therefore, in this Regulation, projects of mutual interest should be considered in the same manner as projects of common interest with all provisions relative to projects of common interest applying also to projects of mutual interest, unless otherwise specified, as well countries included in the Renewed Partnership for the Southern Neighbourhood - New agenda for the Mediterranean, that are already operating based and aligned to EU requirements (Med-TSO members) or with third countries having signed bilateral agreements with the Union which include relevant provisions on climate and energy policy objectives on decarbonisation.

Recital 66

(10 a) Recital 66 is amended as follows: "(66) In order to improve legal certainty, the respective time limits within which an issuer is to publish a supplement to the prospectus and within which investors have a right to withdraw their acceptance of the offer following the publication of a supplement should be clarified. On the one hand, the obligation to supplement a prospectus should apply when the significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy occurs before the closing of the offer period or the time when trading of such securities on a regulated market begins, whichever occurs later. On the other hand, the right to withdraw an acceptance should apply only where the prospectus relates to an offer of securities to the public and the significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy arose or was noted before the closing of the offer period and the delivery of the securities. Hence, the right of withdrawal should be linked to the timing of the significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy that gives rise to a supplement, and should apply provided that such triggering event has occurred while the offer is open and before the securities are delivered. The right of withdrawal granted to investors owing to a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy that arose or was noted during the validity period of a prospectus is not affected by the fact that the corresponding supplement is published after the validity period of that prospectus. In the particular case of an offer that continues under two successive base prospectuses, the fact that the issuer is in the process of having a succeeding base prospectus approved does not remove the obligation to supplement the previous base prospectus until the end of its validity and grant the associated rights of withdrawal. To improve legal certainty, the supplement to the prospectus should specify when the right of withdrawal ends. Financial intermediaries should inform investors of their rights and facilitate proceedings when investors exert their right to withdraw acceptances. Financial intermediaries should inform their clients at least once of the possibility of a supplement being published, and when and where it would be published. Upon subscriptions of the securities within the initial subscription period financial intermediaries should inform their clients about their right to withdraw acceptances and facilitate proceeding when investors exert their right to withdraw acceptances. In the event of a supplement is published, financial intermediaries should contact their clients through electronic means. If an investor does not provide a mean of electronic communication to the intermediaries, the investor waives the right to be contacted through intermediaries. In this case, the information regarding the supplement should be found on the issue's website." Or. en (32017R1129)

(10) The application of IFRS 9 during the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to a sudden significant increase in (i) expected credit loss provisions, as for many exposures expected losses over their lifetime may need to be calculated, for assets at amortized cost; and (ii) net unrealised looses on assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI). The BCBS agreed on 3 April 2020 to allow more flexibility in the implementation of the transitional arrangements that phase in the impact of IFRS 9. In order to limit the possible volatility of regulatory capital that may occur if the COVID-19 crisis results in a significant increase in expected credit loss provisions, it is necessary to extend the transitional arrangements also in Union law.

Article 2 – paragraph 3

3. ~~By September 2020, t~~The Commission shall review the Union’s 2030 target for climate referred to in Article 2(11) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 in light of the climate-neutrality objective set out in Article 2(1) and the effects of Covid-19 pandemic, and explore options for a new 2030 target of 50 to 55% emission reductions compared to 1990. The revision shall be based on a solid impact assessment, taking into account the social and economic effects of Covid- 19 crisis as well as potential social impact of future measures. Where the Commission considers that it is necessary to amend that target, it shall make proposals to the European Parliament and to the Council as appropriate. The Commission should also pursue in parallel efforts to develop a methodology to calculate life-cycle emissions for some products.
