**Target:** Proposal for a regulation — Recital 2 a (new)

## Text proposed by the Commission



(2a)

## Amendment of the European Parliament

(2a) As artificial intelligence often relies on the processing of large volumes of data, and many AI systems and applications on the processing of personal data, it is appropriate to base this Regulation on Article 16 TFEU, which enshrines the right to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and provides for the adoption of rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data.
