Recommendation R(83) 10 on the protection of personal data used for scientific research and statistics
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 23 September 1983 at the 362nd meeting of the Ministers' Deputies)
The recommendation prescribes for institutions collecting data for scientific researches or statistical information to have access to official censuses. Persons from whom the data have been obtained must be provided with the information on the purposes for which the data are to be used. The data should not be used for purposes other than research. Personal data used for research should not be published in identifiable form unless the persons concerned have given their consent.
