I move amendment No. 56:

In page 29, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:“Processing of special categories of personal data

39. Without prejudice to the processing of personal data for a purpose other than the purpose for which the data has been collected which is lawful under the Data Protection Regulation, the processing of special categories of personal data for a purpose other than the purpose for which the data has been collected shall be lawful to the extent that such processing is, having regard to the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of the data subject, necessary and proportionate for the purposes—
(a) of preventing a substantial threat to national security, defence, or public security,

(b) of avoiding prejudicing the investigation or prosecution of criminal offences,

(c) set out in paragraphs (a) or (b) of section 44.”.
