(116) Pri čezmejnem prenosu osebnih podatkov zunaj Unije se lahko poveča tveganje v zvezi z zmožnostjo posameznikov za uresničevanje pravic do varstva podatkov, zlasti da se zaščitijo pred nezakonito uporabo ali razkritjem navedenih podatkov. Hkrati lahko nadzorni organi ugotovijo, da ne morejo obravnavati pritožb ali izvesti preiskav v zvezi z dejavnostmi zunaj svojih meja. Njihova prizadevanja za čezmejno sodelovanje lahko ovirajo tudi nezadostna pooblastila za preprečevanje kršitev ali njihovo odpravo, neskladne pravne ureditve in praktične ovire, na primer omejitev virov. Zato je treba spodbujati tesnejše sodelovanje med nadzornimi organi za varstvo podatkov, da bi jim pomagali izmenjavati informacije in izvajati preiskave s tujimi nadzornimi organi za varstvo podatkov. Komisija in nadzorni organi bi morali za namene oblikovanja mednarodnih mehanizmov za sodelovanje, s katerimi bi olajšali in zagotavljali mednarodno medsebojno pomoč za izvrševanje zakonodaje za zaščito osebnih podatkov, izmenjevati informacije in sodelovati pri dejavnostih, povezanih z izvajanjem svojih pooblastil, s pristojnimi organi v tretjih državah, in sicer na podlagi vzajemnosti in v skladu s to uredbo.
(116) When personal data moves across borders outside the Union it may put at increased risk the ability of natural persons to exercise data protection rights in particular to protect themselves from the unlawful use or disclosure of that information. At the same time, supervisory authorities may find that they are unable to pursue complaints or conduct investigations relating to the activities outside their borders. Their efforts to work together in the cross-border context may also be hampered by insufficient preventative or remedial powers, inconsistent legal regimes, and practical obstacles like resource constraints. Therefore, there is a need to promote closer cooperation among data protection supervisory authorities to help them exchange information and carry out investigations with their international counterparts. For the purposes of developing international cooperation mechanisms to facilitate and provide international mutual assistance for the enforcement of legislation for the protection of personal data, the Commission and the supervisory authorities should exchange information and cooperate in activities related to the exercise of their powers with competent authorities in third countries, based on reciprocity and in accordance with this Regulation.
