Art. 95 · Relationship with Directive 2002/58/EC
Text
This Regulation shall not impose additional obligations on natural or legal persons in relation to processing in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services in public communication networks in the Union in relation to matters for which they are subject to specific obligations with the same objective set out in Directive 2002/58/EC.
Text: EUR-Lex, CELEX 32016R0679 (consolidated text with corrigenda).
Commentary
The relationship to the e-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC): where ePrivacy imposes specific obligations (cookies, electronic marketing), the GDPR does not add a second round of the same duties.
