(48) Personal data stored in the ETIAS Central System should not be made available to any third country, international organisation or private party. As an exception to that rule, however, it should be possible to transfer such personal data to a third country where the transfer is subject to strict conditions and necessary in the individual case for the purposes of return. In the absence of an adequacy decision by means of implementing act pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (OJ L 119, 4.5.2016, p. 1). or of appropriate safeguards to which transfers are subject pursuant to that Regulation, it should exceptionally be possible to transfer data stored in ETIAS to a third country for the purposes of return, but only where the transfer is necessary for important reasons of public interest as referred to in that Regulation.
