G. whereas the proliferation of data processing and analytics, the multitude of actors involved in collecting, retaining, processing and sharing data and the combination of large data sets containing personal data from a variety of sources, retained for unlimited amounts of time, have all created great uncertainty for both citizens and businesses over the specific requirements for compliance with general data-protection principles but entail significant chances for citizens, mankind, business and economy;

Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Underlines that big data analytics create added value in several ways and that there are a number of positive examples: Big data analytics in weather research help to analyse and fight climate change. In healthcare big data tools help predicting virus epidemics and the outbreak of diseases as Malaria or Cholera. Healthcare interventions and medication therapy for cancer patients can be more tailored to individual patient's circumstances using big data. Big data helps to make cities smarter by reducing street lightening energy consumption, optimizing the timing of traffic signals and so reducing tones of CO2 emissions and it is an useful tool for traffic management and air quality management as well. Big data analytics help companies to uncover the potential for slavery in their supply chains and to mitigate it. Big data also helps to predict hunger crises and riots in areas of conflict. Sophisticated big data analytics predict when the maintenance of aircraft turbines is necessary. This reduce the maintenance operation and disruption for airlines, it improves the efficiencies and makes aircrafts safer. Big data makes wind power smarter through analytics and big data tools help to increase power generation and to reduce maintenance costs. Big data helps to improve working conditions and to reduce burn-out rates of employees;

Amendment 132 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6 a. Highlights the advantages of pseudonymisation provided for by the GDPR as an appropriate safeguard in order to guarantee a high level of protection of personal data. Points out that pseudonymisation and encryption techniques can play an important role to foster innovation and economic growth by enabling the further processing of personal data for big data analytics, while at the same time ensuring a strong protection of the data subject's privacy. Calls therefore upon the Commission – in its upcoming review of the e-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) - to also recognize pseudonymisation as an appropriate safeguard that can reduce risks of the data subjects concerned;
Amendment 133 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 b (new)
Paragraph 6 b (new)
6 b. Urges that pseudonymisation and the re-use of data is becoming an issue that strongly needs to be addressed. In this regard calls upon the Commission to bring forward a legislative proposal recognizing pseudonymous data as a new data category. Therefor it would be necessary to introduce a clear legal framework for the use of big data techniques which re-identify individuals by applying the encoding key and therein to include appropriate safeguards for re- identification procedures;
Amendment 139 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7 a. Urges the EU legislators to consider that we still have to remove a series of technical and in particular legal barriers to benefit fully from the potential of big data and other data technologies. Takes the view, that in this regard the data minimisation provided for by the GDPR as one of the principles relating to processing of personal data, as well as the automated processing and profiling could be an obstacle to big data analytics. Calls therefore upon the Commission to provide an appropriate and corresponding legal framework to allow companies to easily create value out of big data while protecting the privacy of citizens and providing data security. In this regard, the Commission should help citizens to understand what benefits the use of big data offers along with the risks;
