Liability

Article 63

1.   Without prejudice to the right to compensation from, and liability of the controller or processor under Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Directive (EU) 2016/680 and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001: (a) any person or Member State that has suffered material or non-material damage as a result of an unlawful personal data processing operation or any other act incompatible with this Regulation by a Member State shall be entitled to receive compensation from that Member State; (b) any person or Member State that has suffered material or non-material damage as a result of any act by eu-LISA incompatible with this Regulation shall be entitled to receive compensation from that agency. eu-LISA shall be liable for unlawful personal data processing operations in accordance with its role as processor or, where applicable, controller. A Member State or eu-LISA shall be exempted from their liability under the first subparagraph, in whole or in part, if they prove that they are not responsible for the event which gave rise to the damage. 2.   If any failure of a Member State to comply with its obligations under this Regulation causes damage to the ETIAS Central System, that Member State shall be held liable for such damage, unless and insofar as eu-LISA or another Member State participating in the ETIAS Central System failed to take reasonable measures to prevent the damage from occurring or to minimise its impact. 3.   Claims for compensation against a Member State for the damage referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be governed by the national law of that Member State. Claims for compensation against the controller or eu-LISA for the damage referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be subject to the conditions provided for in the Treaties.
