1.   L-Istati Membri jistgħu jadottaw regoli speċifiċi biex jistabbilixxu s-setgħat tal-awtoritajiet superviżorji stipulati fil-punti (e) u (f) tal-Artikolu 58(1) b'rabta ma' kontrolluri jew proċessuri li jkunu soġġetti, taħt il-liġi tal-Unjoni jew ta' Stat Membru jew ir-regoli stabbiliti minn korpi kompetenti nazzjonali, għal obbligu ta' segretezza professjonali jew obbligi ekwivalenti oħra ta' segretezza fejn dan ikun meħtieġ u proporzjonat biex jiġi rrikonċiljat id-dritt tal-protezzjoni ta' data personali mal-obbligu ta' segretezza. Dawk ir-regoli għandhom japplikaw biss fir-rigward ta' data personali li l-kontrollur jew il-proċessur ikun irċieva b'riżultat ta' jew kiseb f'attività koperta minn dak l-obbligu ta' segretezza.

2.   Kull Stat Membru għandu jinnotifika lill-Kummissjoni r-regoli adottati skont il-paragrafu 1, sal-25 ta' Mejju 2018 u, mingħajr dewmien, dwar kwalunkwe emenda sussegwenti li taffettwahom.

1.   Member States may adopt specific rules to set out the powers of the supervisory authorities laid down in points (e) and (f) of Article 58(1) in relation to controllers or processors that are subject, under Union or Member State law or rules established by national competent bodies, to an obligation of professional secrecy or other equivalent obligations of secrecy where this is necessary and proportionate to reconcile the right of the protection of personal data with the obligation of secrecy. Those rules shall apply only with regard to personal data which the controller or processor has received as a result of or has obtained in an activity covered by that obligation of secrecy.

2.   Each Member State shall notify to the Commission the rules adopted pursuant to paragraph 1, by 25 May 2018 and, without delay, any subsequent amendment affecting them.
