Recital 13
(13) Chun leibhéal comhsheasmhach cosanta a áirithiú do dhaoine nádúrtha ar fud an Aontais agus chun dibhéirseachtaí a chuireann isteach ar shaorshreabhadh sonraí pearsanta laistigh den mhargadh inmheánach a chosc, is gá Rialachán a ghlacadh chun deimhneacht dhlíthiúil agus trédhearcacht a sholáthar d’oibreoirí eacnamaíocha, lena n-áirítear micrifhiontair, fiontair bheaga agus fiontair mheánmhéide, agus chun an leibhéal céanna de chearta atá in-fhorfheidhmithe ó thaobh dlí a sholáthar do dhaoine nádúrtha sna Ballstáit uile, agus oibleagáidí agus freagrachtaí a sholáthar do rialaitheoirí agus do phróiseálaithe, chun faireachán comhsheasmhach ar phróiseáil sonraí pearsanta agus pionóis choibhéiseacha a áirithiú i ngach Ballstát chomh maith le comhar éifeachtach idir údaráis mhaoirseachta na mBallstát éagsúil.
Ar mhaithe le feidhmiú cuí an mhargaidh inmheánaigh, ní chuirtear srian le saorghluaiseacht sonraí pearsanta laistigh den Aontas ná ní chuirtear toirmeasc uirthi ar chúiseanna a bhaineann le cosaint daoine nádúrtha i ndáil le sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil.
Chun cás sonrach na micrifhiontar, na bhfiontar beag agus na bhfiontar meánmhéide a chur san áireamh, áirítear sa Rialachán seo maolú maidir le heagraíochtaí a bhfuil níos lú ná 250 fostaí acu i ndáil le coimeád taifead.
Ina theannta sin, moltar d’institiúidí agus comhlachtaí an Aontais, agus do na Ballstáit agus dá n-údaráis mhaoirseachta riachtanais shonracha na micrifhiontar, na bhfiontar beag agus na bhfiontar meánmhéide a chur san áireamh agus an Rialachán seo á chur i bhfeidhm.
Ba cheart do choincheap na micrifhiontar, na bhfiontar beag agus na bhfiontar meánmhéide spreagadh a fháil ó Airteagal 2 den Iarscríbhinn a ghabhann le Moladh 2003/361/CE ón gCoimisiún (5).
(13) In order to ensure a consistent level of protection for natural persons throughout the Union and to prevent divergences hampering the free movement of personal data within the internal market, a Regulation is necessary to provide legal certainty and transparency for economic operators, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and to provide natural persons in all Member States with the same level of legally enforceable rights and obligations and responsibilities for controllers and processors, to ensure consistent monitoring of the processing of personal data, and equivalent sanctions in all Member States as well as effective cooperation between the supervisory authorities of different Member States.
The proper functioning of the internal market requires that the free movement of personal data within the Union is not restricted or prohibited for reasons connected with the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.
To take account of the specific situation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, this Regulation includes a derogation for organisations with fewer than 250 employees with regard to record-keeping.
In addition, the Union institutions and bodies, and Member States and their supervisory authorities, are encouraged to take account of the specific needs of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the application of this Regulation.
The notion of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises should draw from Article 2 of the Annex to Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC [5].
