Recital 7 a (new)
(7 a) Like businesses and consumers, the public authorities and bodies of Member States stand to benefit from increased freedom of choice regarding data-driven service providers, from more competitive prices and more efficient provision of services to citizens. Given the large amounts of data that public authorities and bodies handle, it is of the utmost importance that they lead by example in take-up of data-processing services and refrain from making any unjustified data localisation restrictions when they make use of private-sector data-processing services. Therefore public authorities and bodies should also be covered by this Regulation.

Recital 10
(10) Under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Member States may neither restrict nor prohibit the free movement of personal data within the Union for reasons connected with the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data. This Regulation establishes the same principle of free movement within the Union for non-personal data except when a restriction or a prohibition would be justified for security reasons. Regulation (EU)2016/679 and this Regulation provide a coherent set of rules that cater for free movement of different types of data. In the case of mixed data sets, this Regulation should apply to the non-personal data part of the set. Where non-personal and personal data are inextricably linked, this Regulation should apply to the whole set without prejudice to Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Furthermore, this Regulation imposes neither an obligation to store the different types of data separately nor an obligation to unbundle mixed data sets.
