The amendment relates to the processing systems, as do many of sections 71 to 79, inclusive. I note that, as was indicated earlier in the debate, there may be scope for the introduction of additional standards that are complementary but not contrary to the GDPR in regard to such sections. In respect of these sections where specific measures are set out, I intend to look to how we may be able to add complementary measures that might make them more effective, such as the introduction of timelines in regard to some of the measures or time limits for some of the actions outlined. It is a wide point but as the section was opened for discussion by the Government amendment this is a useful opportunity to make that point.
