While neither Article 7, Article 8 nor Article 9 of Regulation No 45/2001 establishes a principle coupled with exceptions, each article precisely limits the possibility of transferring personal data so as to make it subject to strict conditions which, if not fulfilled, prohibit any transfer. Those conditions always include the necessity of the transfer in the light of various aims.
