REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA

1.

The Advisory Committee agrees with the European Commission’s assessment of the facts as an agreement and/or concerted practice within the meaning of Article 101 of the TFEU and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement.
5.

The Advisory Committee agrees with the European Commission's draft Decision as regards the conclusion that the agreements and/or concerted practices between the addressees were capable of having an appreciable effect upon trade between EU Member States and between contracting parties of the EEA-agreement.
3.

The Advisory Committee agrees with the Commission’s definitions of the relevant product markets in the draft decision. In particular, concerning the product market definition, the Advisory Committee agrees that the impact of the proposed transaction must be assessed on the following markets: (a) the market for 3,5″ mission-critical enterprise HDDs; (b) the market for 3,5″ business-critical enterprise HDDs; (c) the market for 3,5″ desktop HDDs; (d) the market for 3,5″ CE HDDs; (e) the market for 2,5″ mobile HDDs; (f) the market for 2,5″ CE HDDs; and (g) the XHDD market.
66.

Preventive security measures are especially welcomed, and the EDPS recommends introducing in the text of the recast a specific provision requiring the Commission and the Member States to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the migration and also by the specific nature of the personal data to be processed, based on the requirements of Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001. — Take into consideration general security aspects: (i) recognise the specific nature of the data processing activities associated to the migration; (ii) establish some general guidelines concerning the measures to be taken (for instance that the data should only be transferred between two systems if adequately encrypted); (iii) establish that the Commission together with the Member States, and in particular with France, shall develop a specific security plan, after the evaluation of the possible risks associated to the migration, in due time before the migration. — Specific clauses to protect data integrity are also needed, and the EDPS would recommend to include in the Regulation or in a specific Commission decision the following measures: (i) an annex with the mapping and validation rules applicable in the conversion, making it easy to verify whether the relaxation of SIS II rules is compliant with the SIS II Regulation; (ii) a provision defining the responsibility of the different actors in the identification and correction of anomalous data; (iii) a requirement to fully test, before the migration, the compliance of the data to be migrated with SIS II integrity rules. — Provide for the disposal of the old system. After the migration, the question of what will happen to the technical equipment of SIS 1+ becomes urgent. The EDPS therefore recommends that the proposal or a specific Commission decision should establish a precise time limit for this retention together with an obligation to take appropriate technical measures to ensure a secure deletion of the data after finishing the migration and the intensive monitoring period.

The EDPS further recommends to: — specify in Annex I the ‘reasons for the destruction’ in predefined fields to choose from, — make clear in Article 4(3) that the obligation for a motor vehicle registration authority to gather the information in Annex I from another competent authority and to transfer the data to its own register can only apply to data that the recipient competent authority would be authorised to process pursuant to EU law and/or its national law, — add in Article 9 that vehicle registration authorities should make easily accessible to the public the rules governing the processing of data in the context of the re-registration of vehicles, which should include information on time limits for retention as well as the necessary information foreseen in Articles 10 and 11 of Directive 95/46/EC, — clarify in the Proposal what is the software application mentioned in Annex II which will be used for the electronic exchanges of data, and what would be the role of the Commission, if any, in facilitating the interoperability between national registers, — ensure that, if data are exchanged amongst national vehicle registration authorities through an existing pan-European infrastructure, they are appropriately segregated from other data that may be exchanged therein, — add in Article 7(4) that the Commission should evaluate regularly the adequacy of the security measures, taking into account technological developments and the evolution of risks and that it should update the security measures where necessary.
43.

The EDPS recalls that respect for the rights to privacy and the protection of personal data, and for the confidentiality of communications, is crucial to building consumer trust and confidence in the European single market for electronic communications. In that regard, the EDPS provides the following key recommendations: — Traffic management measures constitute a restriction to net neutrality, which the proposal sets out as the key principle applicable to Internet use in the EU, and interfere with end-users’ rights to confidentiality of communications, privacy and personal data protection. In view of this, such measures should be subject to strict transparency, necessity and proportionality requirements. In particular: — Using traffic management for the purposes of implementing a legislative provision or preventing and impeding serious crimes may entail a wide-scale, preventive and systematic monitoring of communications content which would be contrary to Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, as well as Article 5(1) of Directive 2002/58/EC and Directive 95/46/EC. Reference to these grounds should be removed from Article 23(5)(a) of the proposal; — Article 23(5) of the proposal should provide clear information on communications inspection techniques that are allowed within the context of traffic management measures; — Article 23(5) should explicitly provide that, whenever sufficient for the achievement of one of the aims set out in that provision, traffic management measures will involve communications inspection techniques based on the sole analysis of the IP-headers, as opposed to those involving Deep Packet Inspection; — Articles 25(1) and 26 of the proposal should require the provision of information on traffic management measures, instituted for all purposes laid down in Article 23(5). In particular, these provisions should require providers to indicate the communications inspection techniques underlying such traffic management measures, as well as explain the effect of such techniques on end-users’ privacy and data protection rights; — Article 24(1), laying down the powers of national regulatory authorities to, inter alia, supervise the application of traffic management measures, should include the possibility for the latter to cooperate with national data protection authorities. Similarly, Article 25(1) should provide for a possibility for national data protection authorities to obtain for inspection information on traffic management measures before its publication; — The interrelationship between Article 7(1) of Directive 2002/58/EC and Article 27(4) of the proposal should be clarified; — Both Articles 17(1)(f) and 19(4)(e) of the proposal should be amended to include the requirement for the European virtual broadband access product and the European ASQ connectivity product, respectively, to comply with the principle of data protection by design.
