Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Like businesses and consumers, the public authorities and bodies of Member States stand to benefit from increased freedom of choice regarding data-driven service providers, from more competitive prices and more efficient provision of services to citizens. Given the large amounts of data that public authorities and bodies handle, it is of the utmost importance that they lead by example in take-up of data-processing services and refrain from making any unjustified data localisation restrictions when they make use of private-sector data-processing services. Therefore public authorities and bodies should also be covered by this Regulation.
