Recital 164
(164) Hvad angår tilsynsmyndighedernes beføjelser til af den dataansvarlige eller databehandleren at få indsigt i personoplysninger og adgang til den pågældendes lokaler kan medlemsstaterne inden for rammerne af denne forordning ved lov vedtage specifikke regler med det formål at sikre faglig eller anden tilsvarende tavshedspligt, for så vidt det er nødvendigt for at forene retten til beskyttelse af personoplysninger med tavshedspligt.
Dette berører ikke medlemsstaternes eksisterende forpligtelser til at vedtage regler om tavshedspligt, hvis det kræves i EU-retten.
(164) As regards the powers of the supervisory authorities to obtain from the controller or processor access to personal data and access to their premises, Member States may adopt by law, within the limits of this Regulation, specific rules in order to safeguard the professional or other equivalent secrecy obligations, in so far as necessary to reconcile the right to the protection of personal data with an obligation of professional secrecy.
This is without prejudice to existing Member State obligations to adopt rules on professional secrecy where required by Union law.
