Questions referred







1.


Does Article 85(1) of the GDPR (1) make it possible for the Member States to adopt legislative measures in addition to those which they must adopt under Article 85(2) of the regulation relating to the processing of personal data for purposes other than journalistic ones or the purposes of academic, artistic or literary expression?










2.


If the previous question is answered in the affirmative: Does Article 85(1) of the GDPR allow a reconciliation of the right to the protection of personal data pursuant to that regulation with the freedom of expression and of information which means that the only legal remedy available to a person whose personal data are processed by making criminal convictions involving that person available to the public on the internet in return for payment is the initiation of criminal proceedings for defamation or the claiming of damages for defamation?










3.


If the first question is answered in the negative or the second question is answered in the negative: Can an activity which consists of making available to the public on the internet in return for payment, without any processing or editing, public documents in the form of criminal convictions constitute processing of personal data for the purposes set out in Article 85(2) of the GDPR?






(1)  Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ 2016 L 119, p. 1).

Questions referred







1.


Should Article 4(1) in conjunction with Article 9 of Directive 2009/133/EC (1) be interpreted as precluding a provision of national law (zákon o osobitnom odvode (Law on the Special Levy)) under which a special levy is also charged on capital gains resulting from a transaction (transfer of assets) between companies established in Slovakia?










2.


Can the effect of Article 4(1) in conjunction with Article 9 of Directive 2009/133/EC, namely the non-taxation of capital gains resulting from a transfer of assets, calculated as the difference between the real values of the assets and liabilities transferred and their values for tax purposes, also be invoked in the case of a national transaction, carried out between companies established in the same Member State, if the national provisions charge a payment, akin to taxation in its effects, on capital gains resulting from such a transaction (i.e. a special levy)?






(1)  Council Directive 2009/133/EC of 19 October 2009 on the common system of taxation applicable to mergers, divisions, partial divisions, transfers of assets and exchanges of shares concerning companies of different Member States and to the transfer of the registered office of an SE or SCE between Member States.
