Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) The sharing of theaccess of customer data in the scope of this Regulation should be based on the explicit permission of the customer. The client’s permission to give access to his or her data should be obtained through an explicit consent, which should not be based solely on a “tick-the-box” approach or the use of generalising phrases. In seeking the explicit permission of the customer to use his or her data, the data users should specify what use they intend to make of the customer’s data, should the customer provide permission. The legal obligation on data holders to share customer data should be triggered once the customer has explicitly requested their data to be shared with a data user. This request can be submitted bye data user should be able to demonstrate how the best interest of the customer will be served and preserved. In accordance with Regulation (EU) [XXXX/XXXX] of the European Parliament of the Council (Data Act), an undertaking providing core platform services that has been designated as a gatekeeper under Regulation (EU) 2022/19251) cannot be eligible as data user acting on behalf of the customerunder this Regulation. The limitation on granting access to gatekeepers would not exclude them from the market and prevent them from offering its services, as voluntary agreements between them and the data holders remain unaffected. Where the processing of personal data is involved, a data user should have a valid lawful basis for processing under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The customers data can be processed only for the agreed purposes in the context of the service provided. Under this Regulation, these purposes should be strictly limited to the provision of a financial product, a financial service or a financial information service. The processing of personal data must respect the principles of personal data protection, including lawfulness, fairness and transparency, purpose limitation and data minimisation. A customer has the right to withdraw the permission given to a data user. W at any time and free of charge. For example, when data processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, a customer should be able to withdraw permissions according to the contractual obligations to which the data subject is party. WSimilarly, when personal data processing is based on consent, a data subject has the rightshould be able to withdraw his or her consent at any time, as provided for in Regulation (EU) 2016/679. It should not be possible for the data user to transfer customer data to a third-party actor without this explicit permission, or even to another entity within the same group.

Amendment 215 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33
(33) In order to enable effective supervision and to eliminate the possibility of evading or circumventing supervision, financial information service providers must be either legally incorporated in the Union or in case they are incorporaonly be provided by legal persons that have a registered office in a Member State in which they intend in a third country appoint a legal represento carry out or do carry out substantive in the Union.business activities An effective supervision by the competent authorities is necessary for the enforcement of requirements under this Regulation to ensure integrity and stability of the financial system and to protect consumers. The requirement of legal incorporation of financial information service providers in the Union or the appointment of a legal representative in the Union does not amount to data localisation since this Regulation does not entail any further requirement on data processing including storage to be undertaken in Union.

(34) A financial information service provider should be authorised in the jurisdiction of the Member State where its main establishment is located, that is, where the financial information service provider intends to carry out substantive business activities and where it has its head office or registered office within which the principal functions and operational control are exercised. In respect of financial information service providers that do not have an establishment in the Union but require access to data in the Union and therefore fall within the scope of this Regulation, the Member State where those financial information service providers have appointed their legal representative should have jurisdiction, considering the function of legal representatives under this Regulation.
