The privacy statement refers to the repealed Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.\n(3)\nDirective 95/46/EC was repealed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Regulation (EU) 2016/679 started to apply from 25 May 2018.\n(4)\nArticle 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 sets out the information which needs to be provided, at the time when personal data are obtained, by the data controller to the data subject where personal data are collected from the data subject. Such information should be provided henceforth in the privacy statement of the statement of support form model.\n(5)\nAccording to Article 94 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, references to the repealed Directive 95/46/EC are to be construed as references to Regulation (EU) 2016/679. For reasons of clarity, legal certainty and transparency, the reference in the privacy statement should be updated.\n(6)\nAnnex III to Regulation (EU) No 211/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(7)\nThe European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 28(2) of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
