LIBE, ITRE European Parliament
Jens Geier
Excellent, you did not consume three minutes, so then I pass the floor to Ms. Kaljurand, please.
Marina Kaljurand
Yes, thank you, Chair. I would like to start with recognizing Commission's initiative and effort to raise competitiveness of European economy, industry, and businesses in the digital sphere, to simplify and to reduce bureaucratic burden. I fully support these objectives. However, we should never think that compromising on fundamental rights will increase our competitiveness. Technical solutions that support privacy and trust are and will continue to be European industry's advantage.
So we should also keep in mind that while adopting the rules, they will be applicable to both European small businesses and big platforms at the time when we try to get and become less independent on the last ones. My colleague Sala already introduced some of the points that where we were able to agree in our draft proposal and in our draft. Maybe I will add a couple of points on that. We managed to have important elements of this proposals like with regard to the parts of the Omnibus that concern fundamental rights and protection of privacy. Mainly, we are upholding data subjects' access rights.
We delete the Commission's proposal which would have limited data subjects' right to request their data only for the purpose of the protection of their data.
We also propose that it should be the EDPB who establishes and makes public the common lists on the risks of data breaches and the lists on the conditions for when a data protection impact assessment is required. On automated processing, we have modified the requirement of human intervention to meaningful human intervention. Having said that, there are amendments that I'm going to introduce, and I'll mention just the headings. First, keeping the definition of personal data intact. This is a fundamental principle of the GDPR, and the changes proposed by the Commission would not only add legal uncertainty, but they would not have an effect on the implementation.
The question is enforcement and fragmentation, and we will not solve the problem with adding additional laws. Second, maintaining technological neutrality of GDPR, and last but not least, creating a strong solution on cookies. Thank you.
Jens Geier
Thank you, Ms. Kaljurand, and now I invite the shadows for their statements. We start with the shadow from EPP LIBE, Herr Schenk, bitte.
Oliver Schenk
Herzlichen Dank, Herr Vorsitzender, ich würde gerne auf Deutsch sprechen. Vielen Dank erstmal an die Berichterstatter für die Vorstellung heute und die auch damit verbundene Arbeit. Ich möchte einen Punkt besonders herausgreifen, der mir neben den vielen Aspekten, die dort thematisiert werden, wichtig ist, das ist, dass wir mit diesem Omnibus wirklich die Voraussetzungen dafür schaffen müssen, dass wir Daten besser genutzt werden. Dass wir verstehen, wie wichtig Daten sind als strategische Ressource für KI, für wissenschaftliche Forschung, für industrielle Innovation und die Entwicklung neuer digitaler Geschäftsmodelle. Gerade hier besteht aber erhebliche Rechtsunsicherheit.
Das Zusammenspiel von GDPR, AI Act, Data Act und weiteren digitalen Rechtsakten ist in der Praxis oft komplex und erschwert Innovation. Unser Ziel sollte deshalb ein kohärenter, technologieneutraler und wirklich risikobasierter Rechtsrahmen. Dort, wo Risiken für Grundrechte bestehen, müssen hohe Schutzstandards gelten, ohne Frage. Dort, wo Risiken gering sind, sollten wir unnötige regulatorische Hürden abbauen. Dabei sollten wir auch die Chancen für Wissenschaft und Forschung stärker in den Blick nehmen.
Europa braucht klare und praxistaugliche Regeln, damit Daten für wissenschaftliche Forschung und das Training vertrauenswürdiger KI-Systeme genutzt werden können, selbstverständlich unter angemessenen Schutzvorkehrungen. Wenn der Zugang zu Daten rechtlich unsicher bleibt, wird es Europa schwerfallen, bei vertrauenswürdiger KI eine stärkere Rolle einzunehmen. Für mich liegt genau darin das eigentliche Potenzial des digitalen Omnibus: nicht nur bestehende Regelungen zu vereinfachen, sondern einen verlässlichen Rechtsrahmen zu schaffen, der Innovation ermöglicht, Forschung stärkt und Europas Wettbewerbsfähigkeit nachhaltig verbessert. Ich hoffe, dass wir gemeinsam bei diesen Themen eine gute Lösung finden werden. Vielen Dank.
Jens Geier
Danke, Herr Schenk. We continue with the shadow from S&D ITRE, that would be Elena Sancho Murillo.
Elena Sancho Murillo
Thank you, I will talk in Spanish. En primer lugar, me gustaría dar las gracias a Aura y Marina y a todos sus equipos por el trabajo que están realizando en este draft, en este informe tan importante. Este borrador que estamos trabajando supone una clara mejora respecto a la propuesta de la Comisión y, en particular, me gustaría destacar la eliminación, el apoyo a la eliminación de la definición de acceso de datos que corría el riesgo de debilitar uno de los objetivos fundamentales de la Ley de Datos.
Desde mi rol de shadow rapporteur de la Comisión de ITRE quiero hablar y quiero centrar mi discurso en materia de datos y de ciberseguridad. Me gustaría insistir en materia de datos principalmente en la necesidad de restablecer las disposiciones actuales de la ley de datos sobre secretos comerciales, introducir una definición de gran empresa basada en el volumen de datos y el poder de negociación en lugar de su tamaño, instar a la Comisión a que proponga legislación sectorial específica sobre el acceso a los datos de los vehículos, mantener las obligaciones de transparencia. Voy a un poco más lenta. Como decía, mantener las obligaciones de transparencia en relación con las tarifas de acceso a los datos, sobre todo y muy importante para proteger nuestras pymes. También veo muy necesario e importante preservar las garantías fundamentales en materia de contratos inteligibles, incluidas la interoperabilidad, la seguridad y el control por parte del usuario.
También en materia de seguridad quería aclarar que desde aquí apoyamos la propuesta de la Comisión de establecer un punto único de notificación, pero prevemos que desde el Consejo pues va a ser un punto difícil. Y bueno, me gustaría comentar bastantes más cosas, pero como mi tiempo es muy corto, sin más espero que este documento y el trabajo que nos espera a partir de septiembre refleje las necesidades de nuestra industria sin olvidarnos de la seguridad de los datos y del espacio digital tanto para las empresas como para todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas de la Unión Europea. Muchas gracias.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much. The next would be Fabrice Leggeri who speaks for both of the shadows of PfE so you will have three minutes. Mr. Leggeri.
Fabrice Leggeri
Merci beaucoup Monsieur le Président, je vais effectivement parler au nom de nos deux shadows pour ITRE et LIBE donc pour Julie Rechagneux et Alexandre Varaut. Donc je commence la lecture. Nous voulons d'abord remercier et saluer le travail des co-rapporteurs Aura Salla et Marina Kaljurand. Sur plusieurs points nos positions se rejoignent très directement. Comme elles, nous refusons la prorogation pure et simple du règlement P2B qui reste la seule protection réelle de nos PME face aux grandes plateformes.
Comme elles, nous rétablissons le droit des citoyens à ne pas faire l'objet d'une décision entièrement automatisée avec une intervention humaine réelle. Comme elles, nous voulons une harmonisation des obligations qui allègerait réellement la charge des entreprises, c'est une base commune solide, nous la reconnaissons clairement. Nous voudrions à cette occasion rappeler les trois lignes qui guident nos amendements sur ce texte : la protection de la vie privée des citoyens, la liberté d'innover pour nos entreprises et la souveraineté numérique de l'Europe.
Fabrice Leggeri
I will speak slowly. Donc nous voudrions à cette occasion rappeler les trois lignes qui guident nos amendements sur ce texte : la protection de la vie privée des citoyens, la liberté d'innover pour nos entreprises et la souveraineté numérique de l'Europe. Trois exigences que nous refusons d'opposer entre elles. Premièrement à propos de la vie privée. Nous proposons de sécuriser la définition de la donnée personnelle, de poser un véritable test de validité du consentement contre les interfaces trompeuses et d'encadrer les garanties applicables au traitement des données par l'intelligence artificielle.
Deuxièmement, à propos de la liberté d'innover. Nous proposons un régime clair de pseudonymisation pour sécuriser juridiquement les entreprises, la mutualisation du délégué à la protection des données pour les petites structures et une évaluation d'impact unique fusionnant les obligations de la RGPD et du règlement sur l'intelligence artificielle afin d'éviter les doubles procédures. Troisièmement, à propos de la souveraineté, nous proposons un cadre permettant de localiser les données les plus stratégiques et de réduire notre dépendance à des fournisseurs de pays tiers lorsque la sécurité publique ou la continuité de services essentiels le justifie. Nous restons pleinement disposés à échanger sur le fond avec les co-rapporteurs et avec l'ensemble des groupes et nous espérons que ces contributions seront reçues dans le même esprit constructif que celui avec lequel nous avons accueilli leur rapport. Nous vous remercions.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much, Mr. Leggeri. The next one would be the shadow rapporteur from ECR in ITRE, Mr. Diego Solier.
Diego Solier
Gracias, presidente. I'm going to speak in Spanish. El Digital Omnibus representa una oportunidad para corregir un problema creciente en el marco regulatorio digital europeo. Las normas diseñadas para proteger a los ciudadanos también deben ser aplicables y viables para las empresas, los innovadores y las administraciones públicas que tienen la responsabilidad de impulsar la competitividad digital e industrial de Europa. Nuestras enmiendas se guían por un principio muy sencillo: claridad sí, garantías sólidas también, pero sin duplicidades innecesarias, sin fragmentación y sin inseguridad jurídica.
En primer lugar, en materia de inteligencia artificial y de uso de datos, Europa necesita un marco práctico y armonizado. Los desarrolladores de inteligencia artificial y las pymes innovadoras no pueden operar bajo interpretaciones nacionales divergentes ni bajo obligaciones técnicamente imposibles de cumplir. Las normas deben basarse en el riesgo, mantener las garantías para los ciudadanos y proporcionar seguridad jurídica en cuestiones como el interés legítimo, las evaluaciones sobre datos personales y el tratamiento de datos para el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial. En segundo lugar, en materia de notificación de incidentes de ciberseguridad, la simplificación debe ser real. Las empresas no deberían tener que comunicar el mismo incidente varias veces a distintas autoridades bajo diferentes marcos regulatorios.
Apoyamos un verdadero enfoque de notificar una sola vez y compartir la información con todas las autoridades competentes, con un único punto de entrada, formatos comunes, plazos alineados y sin notificaciones duplicadas salvo cuando sean estrictamente necesarias. En tercer lugar, respecto al artículo 88 A, el nuevo marco sobre equipos terminales debe reducir la fatiga de consentimiento sin menoscabar la protección de la privacidad. Las actividades claramente de bajo riesgo, como la ciberseguridad, la prevención del fraude, el diagnóstico técnico, la medición de audiencias, el control de frecuencia, la protección de marca y la publicidad contextual, deben recibir un tratamiento previsible y proporcionado. Y por último, en relación con las señales automatizadas de consentimiento previstas en el artículo 88 B, debemos evitar sustituir la actual fatiga de los pop-ups por un nuevo modelo de control por parte de grandes plataformas. Las decisiones sobre privacidad deben seguir estando realmente en manos de los usuarios...
Jens Geier
Mr. Solier, in the interest of your colleagues, I would ask you to come to an end, please.
Diego Solier
Yeah. Ser tecnológicamente neutrales e interoperables. Ningún navegador o sistema operativo o plataforma dominante debería poder determinar el modelo de negocio de los editores europeos o de los proveedores de servicios digitales. Muchas gracias.
Jens Geier
Thank you. The next would be the shadow rapporteur from ECR in LIBE, Mr. Sebastian Tynkkynen. Is not present, I hear. Then we can continue with the ITRE shadow from Renew, Mr. Michael McNamara. Also not present.
Renew LIBE shadow, Irena Joveva. Also missing. Okay, then I come to colleagues who I've already seen. I invite the shadow rapporteur from the Greens in ITRE, Damian Boeselager. Damian, bitte.
Damian Boeselager
I'm happy my trilogue ended early, so I can be here and at least some people are speaking. Thanks to the rapporteurs for the presentation. I'll just be quite concise. My first or our first priority on the ITRE side is to preserve the balance of the Data Act and promote data sharing. It cannot be that we are undermining ideas that we had just concluded together in this Parliament and that have just come into force last year September already, just one year basically after they came into reality.
So I understand that there's a risk of international data sharing, but the rights of the owners of connected devices should not just be undermined. That is also not business-friendly in itself because these owners of connected devices are also very often businesses. It's just choosing a side in this case, the manufacturer's side, and I would like to preserve the balance that we have just found last mandate. We want to strengthen the neutrality of data intermediation services by deleting the Data Governance Act, which in itself is not the worst idea because it was not the best law ever written, even though I was a shadow there as well. We have basically the consequence that the commercial separation between data intermediation and, for example, data storage is now broken.
And we need to bring that back in order to ensure that there's a good chance for European businesses to also become data intermediation services, even though the data storage market is quite consolidated already. We want to ensure that we have open licensing under the Open Data Directive as well. So that we use basically open licenses to the maximum and public sector information is available. And maybe as a last point, I have many more, but as a last point, I just want to say that we should eat the cookies for breakfast. No one likes them.
They're an unintended consequence. And I think if we can find a better solution for our consumers and citizens, that would be great.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much, Mr. Boeselager. Next would be the Greens shadow in LIBE, Markéta Gregorová.
Markéta Gregorová
Thank you very much and thank you for the rapporteurs for their points. The first point I would like to mention is the lack of ambition. The report amends very narrow parts of the text, excluding the crucial ones. The Commission has proposed a text also without an impact assessment and some of the parts are poorly drafted and to some of them the Commission had no answer to our questions or the answers were not reassuring. When I asked the Commission in this committee whether a change of the definition of personal data would make data brokers out of scope, the answer was not reassuring.
And we need to tackle that. Changing the scope of a regulation cannot happen in an omnibus nor by implementing acts. We cannot let a whole part of the industry claim they are out of scope just because they want to. We also need to focus more on the real simplification for users, which the draft report does not. Articles 88a and 88b provide for a great opportunity to end cookie banners as we know them.
The Commission does not seem to have an idea on how the system of automated signals would work. It is for up to us legislators to give it some flesh then. And this is what I will focus on. People deserve a genuine choice and there is a need to finally get rid of the cookie banners while ensuring fair competition on the market. In a nutshell, the draft report falls short of providing the smaller European players the certainty they need while ensuring coherent protection and simplification for users.
I will make sure that my amendments reflect that. Thank you.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much. The next would be the shadow from the Left in ITRE, Mr. João Oliveira.
João Oliveira
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll speak in Portuguese. Quero começar por saudar as relatoras pelo draft que apresentam sobre este importante ficheiro legislativo e particularmente pelo sublinhado que é feito de algumas das questões que nos parecem absolutamente incontornáveis nesta discussão que estamos a fazer, que manifestamente assume como ponto de partida, a partir da proposta apresentada pela Comissão, assume como ponto de partida o desequilíbrio de interesses que são conflituantes entre a protecção individual dos direitos dos cidadãos e dos consumidores relativamente aos dados de que são titulares e o interesse económico com o negócio que é feito com esses dados, com as possibilidades técnicas de recolha de dados que ultrapassam em muito os limites da recolha e a capacidade de controlo e utilização dos dados pelos seus titulares. A pretexto da simplificação, gera-se complexidade e incerteza, sacrificando os direitos dos cidadãos e dos consumidores. A mistura entre as regras de concorrência comercial e instrumentos de protecção de dados pessoais e direitos fundamentais é absolutamente ruinosa para os interesses dos cidadãos e o interesse público e, naturalmente, isso significa que a desregulação e a impunidade dos gigantes tecnológicos e dos grandes fabricantes de equipamentos, naturalmente favorece essa desprotecção, beneficia dessa desprotecção dos direitos dos cidadãos.
Questões como a definição de dados pessoais no RGPD, a defesa da neutralidade tecnológica, o processamento de dados pessoais para treino de modelos de inteligência artificial ou a automatização da verificação de consentimento através das chamadas cookies são algumas das muitas questões críticas que temos pela frente em que precisamos de encontrar uma solução adequada de preservação dos direitos individuais dos cidadãos e dos consumidores para garantir que esse desequilíbrio que a Comissão propõe não vá por diante.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much. Next would be the Left shadow in LIBE, Pernando Barrena Arza. Is missing. Okay, then we continue with the shadow of ESN in LIBE, Mary Khan. Also not present.
Then I can give the floor back to you.
Javier Zarzalejos
Thank you, dear colleague. Now I would give the floor to the rapporteurs of the opinion-giving committees, the IMCO and JURI. Yeah, I know. The IMCO rapporteur is Mr. Alex Agius Saliba, which is... you will also present his opinion. So you will be presenting the opinion of Mr. Saliba and Mr. Boni-fay.
Okay. So I mean, it won't be two hours, but certainly quite a few more minutes than your colleagues. So please, Mrs. Sippel, floor is yours.
Birgit Sippel
Thank you very much. I will do my best not to use two hours. Happy to read a short statement from my colleague Alex Saliba on main points of his draft opinion. It's the intention to focus the opinion on consumer protection elements in the data economy and the position of small and medium-sized businesses towards the digital platforms. Whilst supporting the simplification effort, the opinion shows great reservations when it comes to deregulating or undermining European digital rules.
Therefore, it welcomes bringing the Data Governance Act and the Open Data Directive under one overarching European Data Act, but it opposes the deregulatory elements of the proposal, like the repeal of the platform-to-business regulation or the changes made to GDPR and ePrivacy Directive. Regarding the Data Act, the opinion aims to clarify the definition of data access and strengthen the definitions of data intermediation services. Also, we add the concept of a data expert representative as a specific kind of regulated data intermediation service that can negotiate under a fiduciary duty on behalf of consumers to attain better terms for their data use. Concerning cloud switching rules, the opinion seeks to restore the current text under the Data Act to foster more competition, avoid lock-in effects that could favor incumbents and allow companies to find ways to circumvent the switching requirements by claiming to have custom-made services. Finally, on the platform-to-business regulation, the draft IMCO opinion considers there would be gaps by repealing the regulation even in two stages.
The P2B adds value to SMEs on top of what is in the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act, which have a different scope. P2B should therefore not be repealed without a proper impact assessment. And when it comes to the timeline, the deadline for amendments was on the 8th of July and hope to vote this opinion in IMCO in November. With that, Chair, I would immediately start with the opinion for JURI in the name of Brando Benifei. First of all, let me congratulate all rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs working on this file in LIBE, ITRE, IMCO and JURI for the very important work.
As regards JURI, the draft opinion was considered in committee on the 23rd of June and all amendments have been tabled. From the very beginning, we insisted that JURI has a clear added value to bring on issues of civil and commercial law, contractual fairness, legal certainty, governance and the broader non-personal data framework while avoiding overlaps with the work of the lead committees. My draft therefore focuses on the non-personal data acquis. As is also the case with the personal data provisions of this omnibus, the Commission goes beyond technical simplification by reopening carefully negotiated political compromises without an impact assessment. I have focused my work on: safeguarding trusted and neutral data intermediation services, preserving public sector data reuse and public interest access to data, preserving the right of access to data under the Data Act, ensuring that trade secrets do not become a disproportionate obstacle to data sharing, maintain cloud switching and interoperability obligations, preserving the P2B regulation, maintaining minimum safeguards for smart contracts and strengthening governance through the European Data Innovation Board.
The amendments we received from the groups show that there is broad convergence on a number of key issues, while some areas will require further discussion and compromise building during negotiations. I'm confident that through constructive dialogue, we will be able to reach well-balanced solutions. We are already drafting compromise amendments and aim to have them ready by mid-October. The vote in JURI is currently scheduled for the 4th or 5th of November. I very much look forward to continuing this dialogue with all of you and to making a meaningful contribution to the work in the lead committee.
Thank you very much.
Javier Zarzalejos
Thank you, thank you very much, Mrs. Sippel. Now I'll give the floor to Mr. McNamara and then I will give the floor to the Commission representative. Mr. McNamara, three minutes.
Michael McNamara
Thank you very much, Chair, thank you very much. I wish to thank the co-rapporteurs for their draft report and also for convening stakeholder workshops in the spirit of collaboration with the shadow rapporteurs. I'd also like to thank the co-rapporteurs for prioritizing an impact assessment for the digital omnibus with a focus on fundamental rights, which was carried out in the absence of a full or any impact assessment from the European Commission. On data, Renew's amendments seek to maintain the balance of control between manufacturers and users. We take a risk-based approach to trade secret leakage to third countries in order to safeguard European industry's competitiveness.
At the same time, we seek proper safeguards against potential misuse. The European Data Innovation Board's role is also clarified to promote implementation. Amendments will also be introduced to clarify when governments can access data in public emergencies, adding protections for personal data to uphold fundamental rights and prevent any overreach. On cyber, we support a single entry point which builds on the reporting platform in the Cyber Resilience Act, and we propose further harmonization measures for reporting templates and timelines. And finally, in line with the rapporteurs' draft report, we delete the Commission's repeal of the platform-to-business regulation, which we hope will ensure that European SMEs continue to benefit from fairness and transparency measures when operating through online platforms.
So in short, Chair, I look forward to working with you and the co-rapporteurs and fellow shadow rapporteurs in finding a position which delivers genuine simplification while upholding fundamental rights protection. Thank you.
Javier Zarzalejos
Thank you, Mr. McNamara. And now I'll give the floor to the Commission to react to the previous intervention. Mrs. Nicolaie, the floor is yours for three minutes.
Renate Nikolay
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much, honorable members, for the opportunity to participate in this discussion. I want to thank all the rapporteurs from the opinion committees, but also the co-rapporteurs of this committee for the work done and the progress made on this important file of simplification, which, as you know, has been acknowledged also by the three institutions as something that we want to advance. I hear that there is also a general, a strong support for the exercise to simplify our data rules, in particular in light of the need to create a data market for the EU, because that is important if we want to advance on our interests to develop our own technologies, such as AI, to have our own research, but also to kind of make the life easier for businesses.
I therefore want to thank also for bringing in from the various rapporteurs, in particular the dimension of the fundamental rights of privacy, of the consumer protection and also the interests of the SMEs. All this will of course have to be discussed further. But the objective remains that we really simplify the regime with one law that would be for the data market, in particular around the Data Act, and one law for the of course the fundamental right of privacy, that would be the GDPR. We hear you on platform-to-business regulation, that you feel this is not the right moment to repeal it because there is not everything covered in the DSA and the DMA, and this is certainly something that we want to discuss further with you in a constructive way. Let me also underline that the intention from us was really to make life easier for EU businesses.
All the measures that we proposed in our digital omnibus are the clear results of very close cooperation with EU businesses. This also goes in particular for the single entry point, where it was EU business really complaining about having to report one single incident to different authorities. So here I plea indeed for ambition in your approach on keeping that kind of narrative alive. And also on the Data Act, of course we fully support that we need to keep the balance between the very well-recognized interests of trade secrets and also the fear of data leakage, without kind of making it impossible to really have access to data and exchanging data. Let me now finally say a couple of words on the GDPR-related issues, which are of course also the important continuous work for the co-rapporteurs here.
I want to underline how important it is to bring legal clarity. An omnibus cannot do everything, cannot kind of deal with governance structure. But nevertheless, making the law clearer can help business to have a clearer kind of context in which to use personal data for research, in which to use personal data for AI training, which is really important, and also how to deal with pseudonymization. We will move on the definition of personal data. This has been highly criticized not only in this house, but also in the Council, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive for a solution on pseudonymized data.
And finally, I hope we can also continue to work on the cookies, because it is really a fatigue out there and we should use the omnibus to really make the things clearer and also allow kind of, you know, citizens to have an easier life on that. Thank you very much.
Javier Zarzalejos
Thank you. Now in the catch-the-eye I will give the floor for one minute to Mrs. Șoșoacă. Floor is yours.
Diana Iovanovici Şoşoacă
Mulțumesc. E foarte interesant ceea ce am auzit aici, numai că în calitate de avocat și de apărător al drepturilor fundamentale ale cetățenilor, vă anunț că se atacă și direct și indirect principiul prezumției de nevinovăție în sensul său penal. Din punctul meu de vedere, există o monitorizare de la distanță și o colectare a datelor și vă bazați pe principiul că toți cetățenii europeni pot fi considerați principial infractori. Ori haideți să fim serioși, infractorii nu sunt nici măcar 1% din toată populația Uniunii Europene. Din acest punct de vedere ar trebui să existe documente de analiză că pachetul poate permite multiple temeiuri juridice pentru urmărirea utilizatorilor, dar nu cu încălcarea drepturilor fundamentale.
Prezumția de nevinovăție ajunge să se schimbe în prezumția de bănuit implicit de încălcare a legislațiilor, ceea ce înseamnă că schimbați cu totul toate drepturile omului.
Apoi refuzul dreptului la ștergerea datelor GDPR. Acest lucru nu puteți să-l interziceți cetățenilor și deja se aplică. Dacă vrei să soliciți cuiva să-și șteargă datele GDPR, ți se refuză pe motiv că au nevoie de datele tale. Apoi nu există niciun studiu de impact democratic. Fără evaluări riguroase privind impactul asupra drepturilor fundamentale, nu puteți să aplicați un astfel de act și mă întreb câți cetățeni europeni ați întrebat și câte conferințe ați făcut pentru a întreba cetățenii dacă vor sau nu un asemenea act, pentru că nu este în interesul lor.
Încercați să vă raportați la oameni, nu la dumneavoastră, care sunteți pasageri în politica Uniunii Europene. Mulțumesc.
Javier Zarzalejos
Thank you. And now I will give the floor back to both rapporteurs, Mrs. Salan-Kaliuran, for their final very brief remarks. Mrs. Sala, you have one minute.
Aura Salla
I just want to thank the colleagues for your contribution and I'm looking forward to seeing your amendments and I hope that we can find good majorities in this house. Thank you.
Marina Kaljurand
Yes, thank you. I would also like to thank co-rapporteur Sala, but everybody who spoke today. I listened very carefully to all the interventions and I understand those who say that the draft is lacking ambition. As I tried to explain, our common draft included only those provisions where we could agree. It does not mean that I will not put on table amendments that are ambitious, to some extent even revolutionary, and just to give a hint as to the automatic signals, I think that they should be all, they should cover all software.
Signals should be put in place via independent third-party providers and we should also offer a device-based setting. So this was just a hint. Please stay tuned, read the amendments, have a great summer and looking forward to the negotiations in September. Thank you.
Javier Zarzalejos
We join your best wishes, Mrs. Kaliuran. Now, before concluding our discussion, I would like to remind you that as already has been informed by the secretariat on July the 1st, the deadline for tabling amendments is the 15th of July at noon. So I now will give the floor to my ITRE colleague to close the meeting.
Jens Geier
Thank you very much. Since none of the members has asked for a change of the agenda, I presume that there is no any other business. And then I have to inform you that the date of our next joint meeting will be communicated at a later stage. Many thanks for all participants, interpreters, ushers, technicians. I wish you all a very nice evening.
And I close the meeting. Thank you.
