</div>> *Member States shall provide for exemptions* or derogations from the<br>

<br>
</div>There are indeed specifics which are up to the member states, and<br>
which are therefore not part of what the ECJ is asked to rule on.<br>
<br>
That however does not exclude Freedom of Expression or anything else<br>
that is recognized at the EU level as a fundamental right from<br>
consideration in regard to any question that the ECJ is asked to rule<br>
on.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Again: this article states, that the ECJ cannot ponder on the balance of freedom of expression with privacy. The ECJ confirmed this in the Lindqvist case. This is glass clear. It is a competence of the states.<br>
If it was like you say, Art. 9 of the Directive would not make any sense at all! I don't understand the logic of your arguments:<br></div><div>on the basis of which law or article are you stating this? You just give statements, but I still haven't seen a single paragraph supporting what you say - and you won't find them. <br>
</div><div>Art. 9 explains why the ECJ doesn't mention Art.11 explicitly and only talks indirecty about it.<br></div><div>The basis of the ECJs decision is the Data Protection Directive ONLY. <br></div><div>Best<br></div>

</div>I tried to explain in what way you were misreading it. Obviously I<br>
failed in that the explanation did not achieve its intended outcome.<br>
<br>
I could try again, but for reasons of time constraints my participation<br>
in this conversation ends now.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
