Wijziging van de Archiefwet 1995 ter uitvoering van overweging 158 van de Algemene verordening gegevensbescherming

Reactie

Vraag1

De reactie van inzender Glaudemans zet mij aan om de tekst van die overweging, "Recital 158 EU GDPR" voluit aan de reacties op de consultaties toe te voegen, nu kennisname van die tekst zeer overtuigend is en hopelijk niet alleen tot aanpassing van de thans onaanvaardbare beperking van de digitale wijze van raadpleging leidt, maar ook z.s.m. tot overneming in de Nederlandse (uitvoerings)regeling behoort te leiden:

(158) Where personal data are processed for archiving purposes, this Regulation should also apply to that processing, bearing in mind that this Regulation should not apply to deceased persons.

Public authorities or public or private bodies that hold records of public interest should be services which, pursuant to Union or Member State law, have a legal obligation to acquire, preserve, appraise, arrange, describe, communicate, promote, disseminate and provide access to records of enduring value for general public interest.

Member States should also be authorised to provide for the further processing of personal data for archiving purposes, for example with a view to providing specific information related to the political behaviour under former totalitarian state regimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, in particular the Holocaust, or war crimes.
