THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

IL-KUMMISSJONI EWROPEA,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Wara li kkunsidrat it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,

Having regard to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, [1] and in particular Article 25(6) thereof,

Wara li kkunsidrat id-Direttiva 95/46/KE tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tal- 24 ta’ Ottubru 1995 dwar il-protezzjoni ta’ individwi fir-rigward tal-ipproċessar ta’ data personali u dwar il-moviment liberu ta’ dik id-data, [1] u b’ mod partikolari l-Artikolu 25 (6) tagħha,

After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,

Wara konsultazzjoni mal-Kontrollur Ewropew għall-Protezzjoni tad-Dejta,

Whereas:

Billi:

(1) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC, Member States are required to provide that the transfer of personal data to a third country may take place only if the third country in question ensures an adequate level of protection and if the Member States’ laws implementing other provisions of the Directive are complied with prior to the transfer.

(1) Skont id-Direttiva 95/46/KE, l-Istati Membri huma mitlubin jipprovdu li t-trasferiment ta’ dejta personali lejn pajjiż terz isir biss jekk il-pajjiż terz ikkonċernat jassigura livell adegwat ta’ protezzjoni u jekk ikun hemm konformità mal-liġijiet tal-Istati Membri li jimplimentaw dispożizzjonijiet oħrajn tad-Direttiva qabel ma jsir it-trasferiment.

(2) The Commission may find that a third country ensures an adequate level of protection. In that case, personal data may be transferred from the Member States without additional guarantees being necessary.

(2) Il-Kummissjoni tista’ tikkonkludi li pajjiż terz jiżgura livell adegwat ta’ protezzjoni. F’dak il-każ, tista’ tiġi trasferita dejta personali mill-Istati Membri mingħajr ma jkunu meħtiġin garanziji addizzjonali.

(3) Pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC the level of data protection should be assessed in the light of all the circumstances surrounding a data transfer operation or a set of data transfer operations and giving particular consideration to a number of elements relevant for the transfer and listed in Article 25 thereof.

(3) Skont id-Direttiva 95/46/KE l-livell ta’ protezzjoni tad-dejta għandu jkun evalwat fid-dawl taċ-ċirkustanzi kollha li jikkonċernaw operazzjoni ta’ trasferiment ta’ dejta jew sensiela ta’ operazzjonijiet ta’ trasferiment ta’ dejta filwaqt li tingħata attenzjoni partikolari għal ċerti elementi importanti għat-trasferiment u elenkati fl-Artikolu 25 tagħha.

(4) Given the different approaches to data protection in third countries, the adequacy assessment should be carried out, and any decision based on Article 25(6) of Directive 95/46/EC should be made and enforced in a way that does not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate against or between third countries where like conditions prevail, nor constitute a disguised barrier to trade, regard being had to the European Union’s present international commitments.

(4) Minħabba d-diversi metodi li pajjiżi terzi jużaw fir-rigward tat-trasferiment tad-dejta, l-evalwazzjoni tal-adegwatezza għandha titwettaq, u kwalunkwe deċiżjoni bbażata fuq l-Artikolu 25(6) tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE għandha ssir u tkun infurzata, b’mod li ma tinħoloqx diskriminazzjoni arbitrarja jew mingħajr ġustifikazzjoni kontra jew bejn pajjiżi terzi li fihom ikun hemm kundizzjonijiet simili, u lanqas ma sservi ta’ ostaklu moħbi għall-kummerċ, filwaqt li tingħata kunsiderazzjoni għall-impenji internazzjonali preżenti tal-Unjoni.

(5) The State of Israel’s legal system has no written constitution but constitutional status has been conferred on certain "Basic Laws" by the Supreme Court of the State of Israel. Those "Basic Laws" are complemented by a large body of case law, as the Israeli legal system adheres to a great extent to common law principles. The right to privacy is included in the "Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty" under section 7.

(5) Is-sistema legali tal-Istat tal-Iżrael m’għandhiex kostituzzjoni miktuba iżda ngħata stejtus kostituzzjonali lil ċerti "Liġijiet Bażiċi" mill-Qorti Suprema tal-Istat tal-Iżrael. Dawk il-"Liġijiet Bażiċi" huma kkumplimentati minn kwantità vasta ta’ każistika, minħabba li s-sistema legali Iżraeljana timxi ħafna skont il-prinċipji tal-liġi komuni. Il-jedd għall-privatezza huwa inkluż fil-"Liġi Bażika: Id-Dinjità tal-Bniedem u l-Libertà" taħt it-taqsima 7.

(6) The legal standards for the protection of personal data in the State of Israel are largely based on the standards set out in Directive 95/46/EC and are laid down in the Privacy Protection Act 5741-1981, lastly amended in 2007 in order to establish new processing requirements for personal data and the detailed organization of the supervisory authority.

(6) L-istandards legali għall-protezzjoni tad-dejta personali fl-Istat tal-Iżrael huma fil-biċċa l-kbira tagħhom imsejsin fuq l-istandards imniżżlin fid-Direttiva 95/46/KE u preskritti fl-Att 5741-1981 dwar il-Protezzjoni tal-Privatezza, li ġie emendat l-aħħar fl-2007 sabiex jiġu stabbiliti rekwiżiti ġodda għall-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali u l-organizzazzjoni ddettaljata tal-awtorità ta’ sorveljanza.

(7) That data protection legislation is further complemented by governmental decisions on the implementation of the Privacy Protection Act 5741-1981 and on the organisation and functioning of the supervisory authority, largely based upon recommendations formulated in the Report to the Ministry of Justice by the Committee for the Examination of Legislation relating to Databases (Schoffman Report).

(7) Dik il-leġiżlazzjoni dwar il-protezzjoni tad-dejta hija kkumplimentata wkoll b’deċiżjonijiet governattivi dwar it-twettiq tal-Att 5741-1981 dwar il-Protezzjoni tal-Privatezza u dwar l-organizzazzjoni u t-tħaddim tal-awtorità ta’ sorveljanza, li fil-biċċa l-kbira tagħhom huma msejsin fuq rakkomandazzjonijiet ifformulati fir-Rapport lill-Ministeru tal-Ġustizzja mill-Kumitat għall-Eżami tal-leġiżlazzjoni li għandha x’taqsam mal-Bażijiet tad-Dejta (ir-Rapport Schoffman).

(8) Data protection provisions are also contained in a number of legal instruments regulating different sectors, such as financial sector legislation, health regulations and public registries.

(8) Hemm ukoll dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-protezzjoni tad-dejta f’numru ta’ strumenti legali li jirregolaw setturi differenti, bħal leġiżlazzjoni fis-settur finanzjarju, regolamenti tas-saħħa u reġistri pubbliċi.

(9) The legal data protection standards applicable in the State of Israel cover all the basic principles necessary for an adequate level of protection for natural persons in relation to the processing of personal data in automated databases. Chapter 2 of Privacy Protection Act 5741-1981, which lays down the principles for the processing of personal data, does not apply to the processing of personal data in non-automated databases (manual databases).

(9) L-istandards legali tal-protezzjoni tad-dejta applikabbli fl-Istat tal-Iżrael ikopru l-prinċipji bażiċi meħtiġin għal livell adegwat ta’ protezzjoni għall-persuni fiżiċi b’rabta mal-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali li tinsab f’bażijiet awtomatizzati tad-dejta. Il-Kapitolu 2 tal-Att 5741-1981 dwar il-Protezzjoni tal-Privatezza, li jippreskrivi l-prinċipji għall-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali, ma japplikax għall-ipproċessar ta’ dejta personali f’bażijiet mhux awtomatizzati tad-dejta (bażijiet manwali tad-dejta).

(10) The application of the legal data protection standards is guaranteed by administrative and judicial remedies and by independent supervision carried out by the supervisory authority, the Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority (ILITA), which is invested with powers of investigation and intervention, and which acts completely independently.

(10) L-applikazzjoni tal-istandards legali tal-protezzjoni tad-dejta hija ggarantita permezz ta’ rimedji amministrattivi u ġudizzjarji u ta’ superviżjoni indipendenti mwettqa mill-awtorita ta’ sorveljanza, l-Awtorità Iżraeljana dwar il-Liġi, it-Tagħrif u t-Teknoloġija (l-ILITA), li hija mogħnija bis-setgħat li tinvestiga u tintervjeni, u li taġixxi b’mod għal kollox indipendenti.

(11) Israeli data protection authorities have provided explanations and assurances as to how the Israeli law is to be interpreted, and have given assurances that the Israeli data protection legislation is implemented in accordance with such interpretation. This Decision takes account of these explanations and assurances, and is therefore conditional upon them.

(11) L-awtoritajiet Iżraeljani tal-protezzjoni tad-dejta pprovdew spjegazzjonijiet u garanziji dwar kif għandha tiġi interpretata l-liġi Iżraeljana, u taw garanziji li l-leġiżlazzjoni tal-Iżrael dwar il-protezzjoni tad-dejta hija implimentata f’konformità ma’ tali interpretazzjoni. Din id-Deċiżjoni tieħu inkonsiderazzjoni dawn l-ispjegazzjonijiet u garanziji, u hija għalhekk kondizzjonali fuqhom.

(12) The State of Israel should therefore be regarded as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data as referred to in Directive 95/46/EC with regard to automated international transfers of personal data from the European Union to the State of Israel or, where those transfers are not automated, they are subject to further automated processing in the State of Israel. Conversely, international transfers of personal data from the EU to the State of Israel whereby the transfer itself as well as the subsequent data processing is carried out exclusively through non-automated means should not be covered by this Decision.

(12) L-Istat tal-Iżrael għandu għalhekk jitqies bħala li jipprovdi livell biżżejjed ta’ protezzjoni għad-dejta personali kif imsemmi fid-Direttiva 95/46/KE fir-rigward tat-trasferimenti internazzjonali awtomatizzati tad-dejta personali mill-Unjoni Ewropea lejn l-Istat tal-Iżrael jew, fejn dawk it-trasferimenti ma jkunux awtomatizzati, ikunu suġġetti għal ipproċessar awtomatizzat ulterjuri fl-Iżrael. Għall-kuntrarju, it-trasferimenti internazzjonali tad-dejta personali mill-UE lejn l-Istat tal-Iżrael fejn it-trasferiment innifsu kif ukoll l-ipproċessar sussegwenti tad-dejta jsir esklussivament permezz ta’ mezzi mhux awtomatizzati m’għandhomx ikunu koperti minn din id-Deċiżjoni.

(13) In the interest of transparency and in order to safeguard the ability of the competent authorities in the Member States to ensure the protection of individuals as regards the processing of their personal data, it is necessary to specify the exceptional circumstances in which the suspension of specific data flows may be justified, notwithstanding the finding of adequate protection.

(13) Fl-interess tat-trasparenza u sabiex tiġi mħarsal-abilità tal-awtoritajiet kompetenti fl-Istati Membri li jiżguraw il-protezzjoni tal-individwi fejn jidħol l-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali tagħhom, huwa neċessarju li jiġu speċifikati ċ-ċirkustanzi eċċezzjonali fejn tista’ tkun ġustifikata s-sospensjoni ta’ flussi speċifiċi ta’ dejta, minkejja li jinstab li jkun hemm protezzjoni adegwata.

(14) The adequacy findings pertaining to this Decision refer to the State of Israel, as defined in accordance with international law. Further onward transfers to a recipient outside the State of Israel, as defined in accordance with international law, should be considered as transfers of personal data to a third country.

(14) Is-sejbiet dwar l-adegwatezza li għandhom x’jaqsmu ma’ din id-Deċiżjoni jirreferu għall-Istat tal-Iżrael, kif iddefinit skont il-liġi internazzjonali. Trasferimenti oħrajn ‘il quddiem lil riċevitur barra mill-Istat tal-Iżrael, kif definit skont il-liġi internazzjonali, għandhom jitqiesu bħala trasferimenti ta’ dejta personali lil pajjiż terz.

(15) The Working Party on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data established under Article 29 of Directive 95/46/EC has delivered a favourable opinion on the level of adequacy as regards protection of personal data in relation to automated international transfers of personal data from the European Union or, whether they are non-automated they are subject to further automated processing in the State of Israel. In its favourable opinion, the Working Party has encouraged the Israeli authorities to adopt further provisions which extend the application of Israeli legislation to manual databases, which expressly recognise the application of the proportionality principle to personal data processing in the private sector and which interpret the exemptions in international data transfers as in accordance with the criteria set out in its "Working document on a common interpretation of Article 26(1) of Directive 95/46/EC" [2]. This opinion has been taken into account in the preparation of this Decision [3].

(15) Il-Grupp ta’ Ħidma dwar il-protezzjoni ta’ individwi fir-rigward tal-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali, stabbilit skont l-Artikolu 29 tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE, ta opinjoni favorevoli dwar il-livell tal-adegwatezza fir-rigward tal-protezzjoni tad-dejta personali b’rabta mat-trasferimenti internazzjonali awtomatizzati ta’ dejta personali mill-Unjoni Ewropea jew, fejn ma jkunux awtomatizzati, ikunu suġġetti għal ipproċessar awtomatizzat ulterjuri fl-Istat tal-Iżrael. Fl-opinjoni favorevoli tiegħu, il-Grupp ta’ Ħidma ħeġġeġ lill-awtoritajiet Iżraeljani biex jadottaw aktar dispożizzjonijiet li jestendu l-applikazzjoni tal-leġiżlazzjoni Iżraeljana għall-bażijiet manwali tad-dejta, li jirrikonoxxu b’mod espliċitu l-applikazzjoni tal-prinċipju tal-proporzjonalità għall-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali fis-settur privat u li jinterpretaw l-eżenzjonijiet fit-trasferimenti internazzjonali tad-dejta skont il-kriterji mniżżlin fid-"Dokument ta’ ħidma dwar interpretazzjoni komuni tal-Artikolu 26(1) tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE" tiegħu [2]. Din l-opinjoni kienet ġiet meqjusa fit-tħejjija ta’ din id-Deċiżjoni [3].

(16) The Committee established under Article 31(1) of Directive 95/46/EC did not deliver an opinion within the time limit laid down by its Chairman,

(16) Il-Kumitat stabbilit skont l-Artikolu 31(1) tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE ma tax opinjoni fil-limitu ta’ żmien stipulat mill-President tiegħu.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

2. The competent supervisory authority of the State of Israel for the application of the legal data protection standards in the State of Israel is the "Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority (ILITA)", referred to in the Annex to this Decision.

2. L-awtorità ta’ sorveljanza kompetenti tal-Istat tal-Iżrael għall-applikazzjoni tal-istandards legali tal-protezzjoni tad-dejta hija l-"Awtorità Iżraeljana għal-Liġi, l-Informazzjoni u t-Teknoloġija (Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority, ILITA)", li ssir referenza għaliha fl-Anness ta’ ma’ din id-Deċiżjoni.

Article 2

Artikolu 2

1. This Decision concerns only the adequacy of protection provided in the State of Israel, as defined in accordance with international law, with a view to meeting the requirements of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC and does not affect other conditions or restrictions implementing other provisions of that Directive that pertain to the processing of personal data within the Member States.

1. Din id-Deċiżjoni tirrigwarda biss l-adegwatezza tal-protezzjoni pprovduta fl-Istat tal-Iżrael, kif iddefinit skont il-liġi internazzjonali, bil-ħsieb li tissodisfa l-ħtiġiet tal-Artikolu 25(1) tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE u ma taffettwax kondizzjonijiet jew restrizzjonijiet oħra li jimplimentaw dispożizzjoniet oħra ta’ dik id-Direttiva li għandhom x’jaqsmu mal-ipproċessar ta’ dejta personali fl-Istati Membri.

2. Din id-Deċiżjoni għandha tiġi applikata b’mod konformi mal-liġi internazzjonali. Hija mingħajr ħsara għall-istejtus tal-Artijiet Għoljin tal-Golan, tal-istrixxa ta’ Gaża u tax-Xatt tal-Punent, inkluża Ġersusalemm tal-Lvant, skont it-termini tal-liġi internazzjonali.

Article 3

Artikolu 3

1. Without prejudice to their powers to take action to ensure compliance with national provisions adopted pursuant to provisions other than Article 25 of Directive 95/46/EC, the competent authorities in Member States may exercise their existing powers to suspend data flows to a recipient in the State of Israel in order to protect individuals with regard to the processing of their personal data in the following cases:

1. Mingħajr ħsara għas-setgħat tagħhom li jieħdu azzjoni sabiex jiżguraw konformità mad-dispożizzjonijiet nazzjonali adottati skont dispożizzjonijiet oħrajn oltre l-Artikolu 25 tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE, l-awtoritajiet kompetenti fl-Istati Membri jistgħu jeżerċitaw il-poteri eżistenti tagħhom li jissospendu l-flussi ta’ dejta lil riċevitur fl-Istat tal-Iżrael sabiex jiġu protetti l-individwi fejn jidħol l-ipproċessar tad-dejta personali tagħhom fil-każijiet segwenti:

(a) where a competent Israeli authority has determined that the recipient is in breach of the applicable standards of protection; or

(a) Fejn awtorità Iżraeljana kompetenti tkun ikkonkludiet li riċevitur ikun jikser l-istandards applikabbli ta’ protezzjoni; jew

(b) where there is a substantial likelihood that the standards of protection are being infringed, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the competent Israeli authority is not taking or will not take adequate and timely steps to settle the case at issue, the continuing transfer would create an imminent risk of grave harm to data subjects and the competent authorities in the Member State have made reasonable efforts in the circumstances to provide the party responsible for processing established in the State of Israel with notice and an opportunity to respond.

(b) fejn ikun hemm probabbiltà sostanzjali li l-istandards tal-protezzjoni jkunu qed jinkisru, ikun hemm raġunijiet raġonevoli biex wieħed jemmen illi l-awtorità Iżraeljana kompetenti ma tkunx qed tieħu jew ma tkunx se tieħu passi adegwati u fil-ħin sabiex jissolva l-każ inkwistjoni, it-tkomplija tat-trasferiment tkun toħloq riskju imminenti ta’ ħsara kbira lis-suġġetti tad-dejta u l-awtoritajiet kompetenti fl-Istat Membru jkunu għamlu sforzi raġonevoli fiċ-ċirkustanzi biex jipprovdu lill-parti responsabbli mill-ipproċessar stabbilita fl-Istat tal-Iżrael b’avviż u bl-opportunità li twieġeb.

2. The suspension shall cease as soon as the standards of protection are assured and the competent authority of the Member States concerned is notified thereof.

2. Is-sospensjoni għandha tieqaf hekk kif l-istandards ta’ protezzjoni jkunu assigurati u l-awtorità kompetenti tal-Istati Membri kkonċernati tkun notifikata b’dan.

Article 4

2. L-Istati Membri u l-Kummissjoni għandhom jinfurmaw lil xulxin bil-każijiet fejn l-azzjoni tal-korpi responsabbli li jiżguraw il-konformità mal-istandards ta’ protezzjoni tal-Istat tal-Iżrael tonqos milli tiżgura din il-konformità.

3. If the information collected under Article 3 and under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article provides evidence that any body responsible for ensuring compliance with the standards of protection in the State of Israel is not effectively fulfilling its role, the Commission shall inform the competent Israeli authority and, if necessary, present draft measures in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31(2) of Directive 95/46/EC with a view to repealing or suspending this Decision or limiting its scope.

3. Jekk l-informazzjoni miġbura taħt l-Artikolu 3 u taħt il-paragrafi 1 u 2 ta’ dan l-Artikolu tipprovdi xhieda li kwalunkwe korp responsabbli li jiżgura konformità mal-istandards tal-protezzjoni fl-Istat tal-Iżrael ma jkunx qed jagħmel xogħlu effettivament, il-Kummissjoni għandha tinforma lill-awtorità Iżraeljana kompetenti u, jekk ikun neċessarju, tippreżenta abbozz ta’ miżuri skont il-proċedura msemmija fl-Artikolu 31(2) tad-Direttiva 95/46/KE, bil-għan li tiġi revokata jew sospiża din id-Deċiżjoni, jew li tiġi limitata fil-portata tagħha.
