(29a) This Directive should apply without prejudice to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data1 and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data2. In order to detect, assess, understand and prevent adverse reactions, identify and take action to reduce the risks and increase the benefits of medicinal products for the purpose of safeguarding public health, it should be possible to process personal data within the Eudravigilance system while complying with EU data protection legislation. That purpose constitutes a substantial public interest which can be justified if identifiable health data are processed only when necessary and the parties involved assess such necessity at every stage of the pharmacovigilance process. 1 OJ L 281, 23.11.1995, p. 31. 2 OJ L 8, 12.1.2001, p. 1.
