I thank the witnesses for their contribution and submission. They mentioned that under EU law and in general jurisprudence, provision is made for certain people in society to have particular privileges around data. Should there be a separate pillar within the scheme and who would they include in that additional protection? The Department tried to provide a generalised scheme without specifying anybody. How would the witnesses codify that or are there examples in other countries?
