Question referred
Can the adoption of data from a database protected in accordance with Article 7(1) of Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases (database directive) (1) and their incorporation in a different database constitute an extraction within the meaning of Article 7(2)(a) of that directive even in the case where that adoption follows individual assessments resulting from consultation of the database, or does extraction within the meaning of that provision presuppose the (physical) copying of data?
