<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"In her reply to my Written Question E-001352/2016, Commissioner Jourová referred back to her answers to questions E-009380/2015, E-13814/2015 and E-000082/2016. In those answers the Commission repeatedly stated that the supervision and enforcement of data protection rules falls within the sphere of competence of the national data protection supervisory authority and the courts. Idid not dispute that, but raised the point that the e-cards introduced in Hungary, which contain a fingerprint, and their central registration, give rise to serious data protection concerns, as they are supervised by a data protection authority which even theEU Court of Justice in its judgment in CaseC-288/12 has stated is not independent.  1.In relation to the ECJ's 2014 judgment and the Commission's infringement proceedings against Hungary launched in January2012, Ishould like to ask what measures have been taken to restore the independence of the Hungarian data protection authority, so that it fully complies with EClaw?   2.Since, according to the ECJ's judgment, the risk that the State scrutinising authorities could exercise a political influence over the decisions of the supervisory authorities is enough to hinder the latter in the independent performance of their tasks, and given that e-cards containing fingerprints and their central registration are still a system which offers scope for severe abuses, Irepeat my question in the expectation of a substantive answer, namely: Does the Commission plan to examine the Hungarian law on e-cards and their central registration (Law CXXX of 2015), in other words, does this law comply with EU data protection rules?"
