Recital 9
(9) Tá cuspóirí agus prionsabail Threoir 95/46/CE fónta i gcónaí, ach níor éirigh léi an ilroinnt a chosc sa dóigh a gcuirtear cosaint sonraí chun feidhme ar fud an Aontais, ná níor éirigh léi an éiginnteacht dhlíthiúil a chosc ná tuiscint choiteann an phobail gurb ann do rioscaí suntasacha do dhaoine nádúrtha, go háirithe iad sin i dtaca le gníomhaíocht ar líne.
Aon difríochtaí sa leibhéal cosanta do chearta agus saoirsí daoine nádúrtha, go háirithe an ceart go ndéanfaí sonraí pearsanta a chosaint, sna Ballstáit i ndáil le sonraí pearsanta a phróiseáil, féadfaidh siad an saorshreabhadh sonraí pearsanta ar fud an Aontais a chosc.
D’fhéadfadh na difríochtaí sin a bheith ina mbacainn ar shaothrú gníomhaíochtaí eacnamaíocha ar leibhéal an Aontais, d’fhéadfaidís an iomaíocht a shaobhadh agus bac a chur ar údaráis i gcomhlíonadh a bhfreagrachtaí faoi dhlí an Aontais.
Tá difríocht den sórt sin sna leibhéil cosanta ann toisc go bhfuil difríochtaí ann sa chaoi inar cuireadh Treoir 95/46/CE chun feidhme agus i bhfeidhm.
(9) The objectives and principles of Directive 95/46/EC remain sound, but it has not prevented fragmentation in the implementation of data protection across the Union, legal uncertainty or a widespread public perception that there are significant risks to the protection of natural persons, in particular with regard to online activity.
Differences in the level of protection of the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in particular the right to the protection of personal data, with regard to the processing of personal data in the Member States may prevent the free flow of personal data throughout the Union.
Those differences may therefore constitute an obstacle to the pursuit of economic activities at the level of the Union, distort competition and impede authorities in the discharge of their responsibilities under Union law.
Such a difference in levels of protection is due to the existence of differences in the implementation and application of Directive 95/46/EC.
