▼M2

3. D'fhonn a áirithiú go ndéanfar forálacha um chosaint sonraí an Rialacháin seo a chur i bhfeidhm i gceart, féachfaidh na Ballstáit agus an Coimisiún ar an CEC mar chóras próiseála sonraí pearsanta atá faoi réir na nithe seo a leanas: — na forálacha náisiúnta lena gcuirtear Treoir 95/46/CE chun feidhme; — Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 45/2001; agus — forálacha ar bith den Rialachán seo ar déine iad ná sin.

Airteagal 35

1. Faoi réir Airteagal 30(1), cuirtear toirmeasc ar chomhpháirtithe CEC aon úsáid a bhaint as sonraí pearsanta ón CEC seachas chun na críche sin a luaitear in Airteagal 23(2).

2. Is chun críocha teicniúla amháin a fhéadfar sonraí a dhúbailt, ar choinníoll go bhfuil an dúbailt sin riachtanach le haghaidh cuardaigh a bheidh le déanamh ag na húdaráis dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 29.

3. Ní fhéadfar sonraí pearsanta a d'áirigh Ballstát nó an Coimisiún sa CEC a chóipeáil i gcórais phróiseála sonraí a bhfuil na Ballstáit nó an Coimisiún freagrach astu, ach amháin i gcórais do bhainistiú riosca a úsáidtear chun rialuithe custaim náisiúnta a stiúradh nó i gcóras anailíse oibríochtúla a úsáidtear chun gníomhartha a chomhordú ar leibhéal an Chomhphobail. Sa chás sin, is iad na hanailísithe a cheap údaráis náisiúnta gach Ballstáit agus na hanailísithe a cheap seirbhísí an Choimisiúin, agus iad siúd amháin, a chumhachtófar chun próiseáil a dhéanamh ar shonraí pearsanta a fuarthas ón CEC laistigh de chreat córais do bhainistiú riosca a úsáidtear chun rialuithe custaim ag údaráis náisiúnta a stiúradh nó córais anailíse oibríochtúla a úsáidtear chun gníomhartha a chomhordú ar leibhéal an Chomhphobail faoi seach. Seolfaidh na Ballstáit chuig an gCoimisiún liosta de na ranna bainistíochta riosca a bhfuil a gcuid anailísithe údaraithe chun sonraí pearsanta a iontráladh sa CEC a chóipeáil agus a phróiseáil. Cuirfidh an Coimisiún an liosta sin in iúl do na Ballstáit eile dá réir. Cuirfidh sé faisnéis chomhréireach ar fáil freisin do gach Ballstát maidir lena seirbhísí féin atá freagrach as anailís oibríochtúil. Foilseoidh an Coimisiún mar fhaisnéis in Iris Oifigiúil an Aontais Eorpaigh an liosta de na húdaráis ainmnithe náisiúnta agus de sheirbhísí an Choimisiúin. Ní choimeádfar sonraí pearsanta a cóipeáladh ón CEC ach ar feadh an ama atá riachtanach chun an cuspóir ar chuige a cóipeáladh iad a ghnóthú. Déanfaidh comhpháirtí cóipeála an CEC athbhreithniú gach bliain ar a laghad ar an ngá atá lena gcoimeád. Ní rachaidh an tréimhse stórála thar dheich mbliana. Scriosfar láithreach bonn aon sonraí pearsanta nach bhfuil riachtanach chun leanúint leis an anailís, sin nó bainfear aon fhachtóirí sainaitheantais astu.

Article 36

1. The rights of persons with regard to the personal data in the CIS, in particular their right of access, shall be put into effect: — in accordance with the laws, regulations and procedures of the Member State in which such rights are invoked, — in accordance with the internal rules applicable to the Commission referred to in Article 34 (1).

If laid down in the laws, regulations and procedures of the Member State concerned, the national supervisory authority provided for in Article 37 shall decide whether information is to be communicated and the procedure for doing so.

2. A CIS partner to which an application for access to personal data is made may refuse access if communication would be likely to prejudice the prevention, investigation and prosecution of operations which are in breach of customs or agricultural legislation. A Member State may also refuse access as provided for in its laws, regulations and procedures in relation to cases where such refusal constitutes a measure necessary to safeguard national security, defence, public safety and the rights and freedoms of others. The Commission may refuse access where such refusal constitutes a measure necessary to safeguard the rights and freedoms of others.

▼M2

Ar chaoi ar bith, féadfar rochtain a dhiúltú d'aon duine a bpróiseáiltear a chuid sonraí i rith na tréimhse ina bhfuil gníomhartha á gcur i gcrích chun críocha dearcaidh agus tuairiscithe nó faireacháin dhiscréidigh agus i rith na tréimhse ina bhfuil anailís oibríochtúil ar siúl ar na sonraí nó fiosrúchán riaracháin nó imscrúdú coiriúil.

For this purpose the supervisory authorities shall have access to the CIS.

▼M2

2. Féadfaidh aon duine a iarraidh ar aon údarás maoirseachta náisiúnta dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 28 de Threoir 95/46/CE nó féadfaidh sé a iarraidh ar an Maoirseoir Eorpach ar Chosaint Sonraí dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal 41(2) de Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 45/2001 rochtain a fháil ar na sonraí pearsanta a bhaineann leis d'fhonn a sheiceáil go bhfuil siad cruinn agus d'fhonn a fháil amach cén úsáid a baineadh as na sonraí nó cén úsáid atá á baint astu. Rialófar an ceart seo le dlíthe, le rialacháin agus le nósanna imeachta an Bhallstáit ina ndearnadh an t-iarratas nó rialófar é le Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 45/2001, de réir mar a bheidh. I gcás inar áirigh Ballstát eile nó an Coimisiún na sonraí, déanfar an tseiceáil i ndlúthchomhar le húdarás maoirseachta náisiúnta an Bhallstáit eile sin nó i ndlúthchomhar leis an Maoirseoir Eorpach ar Chosaint Sonraí.

▼M3

5. Rachaidh an Maoirseoir Eorpach ar Chosaint Sonraí, i mbun comhar leis an gComhúdarás Maoirseachta a bunaíodh faoi Chinneadh 2009/917/CGB ón gComhairle ( 9 ), ag gníomhú do gach ceann acu laistigh de raon feidhme a n-inniúlachtaí faoi seach, d'fhonn maoirseacht chomhordaithe agus iniúchtaí comhordaithe ar CEC a áirithiú.

5. Ní thiocfaidh gníomh tarmligthe a ghlactar de bhun Airteagal 23(4) i bhfeidhm ach amháin mura mbeidh aon agóid curtha in iúl ag Parlaimint na hEorpa nó ag an gComhairle laistigh de thréimhse dhá mhí tar éis fógra faoin ngníomh sin a thabhairt do Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus don Chomhairle nó más rud é, roimh dheireadh na tréimhse sin, go mbeidh Parlaimint na hEorpa agus an Chomhairle araon tar éis a chur in iúl don Choimisiún nach ndéanfaidh siad aon agóid.
