Amendment 58 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) Connected devices and machines increasingly communicate with each other by using electronic communications networks (Internet of Things). The transmission of machine-to-machine communications involves the conveyance of signals over a network and, hence, usually constitutes an electronic communications service. In order to ensure full protection of the rights to privacy and confidentiality of communications, and to promote a trusted and secure Internet of Things in the digital single market, it is necessary to clarify that this Regulation should apply to the transmission of machine-to-machine communications. Therefore, the principle of confidentiality enshrined in this Regulation should also apply to the transmission of machine-to- machine communications. Categories of pure machine-to-machine communication such as transmission between network elements (servers, switches) should be exempted as they have no impact on the privacy and confidentiality of communications. Specific safeguards could also be adopted under sectorial legislation, as for instance Directive 2014/53/EU.
