Amendment 41 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
(1) The digitisation of the economy is accelerating. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is no longer a specific sector but the foundation of all modern innovative economic systems and societies. Electronic data is at the centre of those systems and can generate great value when analysed or combined with services and products. At the same time, cybersecurity represents one of the major threats to our societies. Securing network and information systems in the European Union is essential for the further development of the online economy, as well as for ensuring that there is trust in the digital economy as a whole. Consequently, this Regulation and the ENISA Regulation [2017/0225(COD)] need to be fully consistent with one another.

Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
(7) In order to create a framework for the free movement of non-personal data in the Union and the foundation for developing the data economy and enhancing the competitiveness of European industry in compliance with European data protection rules, it is necessary to lay down a clear, comprehensive and predictable legal framework for storage or other processing of data other than personal data in the internal market. A principle-based approach providing for cooperation among Member States as well as self-regulation should ensure that the framework is flexible so that it can take into account the evolving needs of users, providers and national authorities in the Union. In order to avoid the risk of overlaps with existing mechanisms and hence to avoid higher burdens both for Member States and businesses, detailed technical rules should not be established.

Amendment 72 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Member States may neither restrict nor prohibit the free movement of personal data within the Union for reasons connected with the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. This Regulation establishes the same principle of free movement within the Union for non-personal data except when a restriction or a prohibition would be justified for security reasons. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and this Regulation provide a coherent set of rules that cater for free movement of different types of data. In the case of mixed data sets, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 should apply to the personal data part of the set, and this Regulation should apply to the non-personal data part of the set. Where non-personal and personal data are inextricably linked, this Regulation should not prejudice the application of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The protection of the privacy of natural and legal persons as well as the protection of the processing of personal data, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Directive (EU) 2016/680 and Directive 2002/58/EC shall not be affected by this. Furthermore, this Regulation does not impose an obligation to store the different types of data separately.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 a (new)
(10a) Whereas data that is neither personal nor non-personal does not exist by definition, new technological advancements in big data analytics have opened up for the possibility to turn anonymised non-personal data into personal data by comparing and aggregating large quantities of non- personal data. In this case, the line between personal data and non-personal data is not fixed but rather depends upon technological developments and new uses of technologies. In these instances, where non-personal data has become personalised, the data should be treated as such and the provisions laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 should apply accordingly.

Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10 b (new)
(10b) The growing availability of Internet of Things (IoT) and the development of machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) goes hand in hand with the proliferation of devices that collect non-personal data. These new technologies are already used in farm productivity, translation, manufacturing robots and navigation systems among others. However, data collected within certain industries could contain both personal and non-personal data and should be treated under the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and this regulation respectively.

Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) Data localisation requirements represent a clear barrier to the free provision of data storage or other processing services across the Union and to the internal market. As such, they should be banned unless they are justified based on the grounds of public security, as defined by Union law, in particular Article 52 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and satisfy the principle of proportionality enshrined in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. Regardless of this data storage or other processing of authorities and political bodies of national or federal governments and parliaments should be always considered to be justified for grounds of public security. In order to give effect to the principle of free flow of non-personal data across borders, to ensure the swift removal of existing data localisation requirements and to enable for operational reasons storage or other processing of data in multiple locations across the EU, and since this Regulation provides for measures to ensure data availability for regulatory control purposes, Member States should not be able to invoke justifications other than public security.

Amendment 93 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) The concept of ‘public security’, is understood within the meaning of Article 52 of the TFEU and as interpreted by the European Court of Justice. The concept of ‘public security’ covers both the internal and external security of a Member State. Public security presupposes the existence of a genuine and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society, such as a threat to the functioning of institutions and essential public services and the survival of the population, as well as by risk of a serious disturbance to foreign relations or the peaceful coexistence of nations, or a risk of military interest.

Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
(16) Data localisation requirements are frequently underpinned by a lack of trust in cross-border data storage or other processing, deriving from the presumed unavailability of data for the purposes of the competent authorities of the Member States, such as for inspection and audit for regulatory or supervisory control. Therefore, this Regulation should clearly establish that it does not affect the powers of competent authorities to request and receive access to data in accordance with Union or national law, and that access to data by competent authorities may not be refused on the basis that the data is stored or otherwise processed in another Member State, neither by the provider according to Art. 3 No. 4, nor by the professional user according to Art. 3 No. 8, nor by any authority of the other Member State with the exception of Art. 7 of this regulation.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21
(21) In order to take full advantage of the competitive environment, professional users should be able to make informed choices and easily compare the individual components of various data storage or other processing services offered in the internal market, including as to the contractual conditions of porting data upon the termination of a contract. In order to align with the innovation potential of the market and to take into account the experience and expertise of the providers and professional users of data storage or other processing services, the detailed information and operational requirements for data porting should be defined by market players through self-regulation, encouraged and facilitated by the Commission, in the form of Union codes of conduct which may entail model contract terms. Nonetheless, if such codes of conduct are not put in place and effectively implemented within a reasonable period of time, the Commission should review the situation. based on Commission non- binding guidelines, in the form of Union codes of conduct which may entail model contract terms. When drafting the guidelines, the Commission may take into account “Cloud Service Level Agreement Standardisation Guidelines” and the activities performed within the Cloud Stakeholders’ Platform initiative. The Commission shall ensure that all relevant stakeholders, including small and medium enterprises and start-ups are consulted in the process. Nonetheless, if such codes of conduct are not put in place and effectively implemented or do not sufficiently meet the objectives of the proposed Regulation, the Commission should review the situation within two years after the entry into force of this Regulation and introduce, if appropriate, a statutory right to data portability.
