Recital 10
(10) Chun leibhéal comhsheasmhach cosanta agus ardleibhéal cosanta a áirithiú do dhaoine nádúrtha agus chun na bacainní ar shreabhadh sonraí pearsanta laistigh den Aontas a bhaint, ba cheart an leibhéal céanna cosanta a bheith i ngach Ballstát do chearta agus saoirsí daoine nádúrtha i ndáil le próiseáil sonraí den sórt sin.
Ba cheart a áirithiú go gcuirtear na rialacha maidir le cosaint ceart bunúsach agus saoirsí bunúsacha daoine nádúrtha i bhfeidhm go comhsheasmhach agus go haonchineálach ar fud an Aontais i ndáil le sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil.
Maidir le sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil chun go gcomhlíonfaí oibleagáid dhlíthiúil, chun cúram a chur i gcrích a dhéantar ar mhaithe le leas an phobail nó i bhfeidhmiú údaráis oifigiúil atá dílsithe don rialaitheoir, ba cheart cead a bheith ag na Ballstáit forálacha náisiúnta a choimeád nó a thabhairt isteach chun cur i bhfeidhm na rialacha atá sa Rialachán seo a shonrú tuilleadh.
I gcomhar leis an dlí ginearálta agus cothrománach maidir le cosaint sonraí lena gcuirtear Treoir 95/46/CE chun feidhme, tá roinnt dlíthe earnáil-shonracha ag na Ballstáit i réimsí ina bhfuil gá le forálacha níos sonraí.
Déantar foráil sa Rialachán seo freisin go mbeadh lamháil solúbthachta ag na Ballstáit chun a rialacha a shainiú, lena n-áirítear a rialacha a shonrú maidir le catagóirí speisialta sonraí pearsanta (“sonraí íogaire”) a phróiseáil.
Sa mhéid sin, ní eisiann an Rialachán seo dlí Ballstáit lena leagtar amach na dálaí le haghaidh cásanna sonracha próiseála, lena n-áirítear na coinníollacha a chinneadh ar bhealach níos cruinne faoina bhfuil an phróiseáil a dhéantar ar shonraí pearsanta dlíthiúil.
(10) In order to ensure a consistent and high level of protection of natural persons and to remove the obstacles to flows of personal data within the Union, the level of protection of the rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of such data should be equivalent in all Member States.
Consistent and homogenous application of the rules for the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data should be ensured throughout the Union.
Regarding the processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation, for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, Member States should be allowed to maintain or introduce national provisions to further specify the application of the rules of this Regulation.
In conjunction with the general and horizontal law on data protection implementing Directive 95/46/EC, Member States have several sector-specific laws in areas that need more specific provisions.
This Regulation also provides a margin of manoeuvre for Member States to specify its rules, including for the processing of special categories of personal data (‘sensitive data’).
To that extent, this Regulation does not exclude Member State law that sets out the circumstances for specific processing situations, including determining more precisely the conditions under which the processing of personal data is lawful.
