Fejn trasferiment ma setgħax ikun ibbażat fuq dispożizzjoni fl-Artikoli 45 jew 46, inklużi d-dispożizzjonijiet dwar regoli korporattivi vinkolanti, u l-ebda waħda mid-derogi għal sitwazzjoni speċifika msemmija fl-ewwel subparagrafu ta' dan il-paragrafu ma tkun applikabbli, it-trasferiment ma jkunx ripetittiv, jikkonċerna biss għadd limitat ta' suġġetti tad-data, ikun meħtieġ għall-għanijiet ta' interessi leġittimi konvinċenti mfittxija mill-kontrollur li ma jingħelbux mill-interessi jew id-drittijiet u l-libertajiet tas-suġġett tad-data, u l-kontrollur ikun ivvaluta ċ-ċirkostanzi kollha madwar it-trasferiment tad-data u abbażi ta' dik il-valutazzjoni pprovda salvagwardji xierqa fir-rigward tal-protezzjoni tad-data personali. Il-kontrollur għandu jinforma lill-awtorità superviżorja bit-trasferiment. Il-kontrollur għandu, barra milli jipprovdi l-informazzjoni msemmija fl-Artikolu 13 u 14, jinforma lis-suġġett tad-data dwar it-trasferiment u dwar l-interessi leġittimi konvinċenti segwiti.

2.   Trasferiment skont il-punt (g) tal-ewwel subparagrafu tal-paragrafu 1 ma għandux jinvolvi t-totalità tad-data personali jew kategoriji sħaħ tad-data personali li jinsabu fir-reġistru. Fejn ir-reġistru huwa maħsub għall-konsultazzjoni minn persuni li jkollhom interess leġittimu, it-trasferiment għandu jsir biss fuq it-talba ta' dawk il-persuni jew jekk ser ikunu r-riċevituri.

3.   Il-punti (a), (b) u (c) tal-ewwel subparagrafu tal-paragrafu 1 u t-tieni subparagrafu tiegħu ma għandhomx japplikaw għal attivitajiet imwettqa minn awtoritajiet pubbliċi fl-eżerċizzju tas-setgħat pubbliċi tagħhom.

4.   L-interess pubbliku msemmi fil-punt (d) tal-ewwel subparagrafu tal-paragrafu 1 għandu jiġi rikonoxxut fil-liġi tal-Unjoni jew tal-Istat Membru li għaliha jkun soġġett il-kontrollur.

5.   Fin-nuqqas ta' deċiżjoni dwar l-adegwatezza, il-liġi tal-Unjoni jew il-liġi tal-Istat Membru tista', għal raġunijiet importanti ta' interess pubbliku, espressament tistabbilixxi limiti għat-trasferiment ta' kategoriji speċifiċi tad-data personali lejn pajjiż terz jew organizzazzjoni internazzjonali. L-Istati Membri għandhom jinnotifikaw tali dispożizzjonijiet lill-Kummissjoni.

6.   Il-kontrollur jew il-proċessur għandu jiddokumenta l-valutazzjoni kif ukoll is-salvagwardji xierqa msemmija fit-tieni subparagrafu tal-paragrafu 1 ta' dan l-Artikolu fir-reġistri msemmija fl-Artikolu 30.

1.   In the absence of an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45(3), or of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46, including binding corporate rules, a transfer or a set of transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organisation shall take place only on one of the following conditions:

Where a transfer could not be based on a provision in Article 45 or 46, including the provisions on binding corporate rules, and none of the derogations for a specific situation referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph is applicable, a transfer to a third country or an international organisation may take place only if the transfer is not repetitive, concerns only a limited number of data subjects, is necessary for the purposes of compelling legitimate interests pursued by the controller which are not overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject, and the controller has assessed all the circumstances surrounding the data transfer and has on the basis of that assessment provided suitable safeguards with regard to the protection of personal data. The controller shall inform the supervisory authority of the transfer. The controller shall, in addition to providing the information referred to in Articles 13 and 14, inform the data subject of the transfer and on the compelling legitimate interests pursued.

2.   A transfer pursuant to point (g) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall not involve the entirety of the personal data or entire categories of the personal data contained in the register. Where the register is intended for consultation by persons having a legitimate interest, the transfer shall be made only at the request of those persons or if they are to be the recipients.

3.   Points (a), (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 and the second subparagraph thereof shall not apply to activities carried out by public authorities in the exercise of their public powers.

4.   The public interest referred to in point (d) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 shall be recognised in Union law or in the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject.

5.   In the absence of an adequacy decision, Union or Member State law may, for important reasons of public interest, expressly set limits to the transfer of specific categories of personal data to a third country or an international organisation. Member States shall notify such provisions to the Commission.

6.   The controller or processor shall document the assessment as well as the suitable safeguards referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this Article in the records referred to in Article 30.
