<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find below the revised Question 4 as agreed by Laureen, Thomas, and myself.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">Under the GDPR, a data controller can disclose personal data to law enforcement of competent authority under Art. 6 1 c GDPR provided the law enforcement authority has the legal authority to create a legal obligation under applicable
law. Certain commentators have interpreted “legal obligation” to apply only to legal obligations grounded in EU or Member State law.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:0in;mso-list:l0 level5 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">a. Consequently, does it follow that the data controller may not rely on Art. 6 1 c GDPR to disclose personal data to law enforcement authorities outside the data controller’s jurisdiction? Alternatively, are there any circumstances
in which data controllers could rely on Art. 6 1 c GDPR to disclose personal data to law enforcement authorities outside the data controller’s jurisdiction?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;text-indent:0in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.5pt">b. May the data controller rely on any other legal bases, besides Art. 6 I f GDPR, to disclose personal data to law enforcement authorities outside the data controller’s jurisdiction?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">As to the law enforcement authority:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">Given that Art. 6 1 GDPR states that European public authorities cannot use Art. 6 I f GDPR as a legal basis for processing carried out in the performance of their tasks, these public authorities need
to have a legal basis so that disclosure can take place based on another legal basis (e.g.<b>
</b>Art. 6 I c GDPR). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpMiddle"><span style="font-size:11.5pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultCxSpLast"><span style="font-size:11.5pt">c. In the light of this, is it possible for non-EU-based law enforcement authorities to rely on Art. 6 I f GDPR as a legal basis for their processing? In this context, can the data controller rely on
Art. 6 1 f GDPR to disclose the personal data? If non-EU-based law enforcement authorities cannot rely on Art. 6 1 f GDPR as a legal basis for their processing, on what lawful basis can non-EU-based law enforcement rely?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
