(1.) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes, shall be subject to appropriate safeguards, in accordance with this Regulation, for the rights and freedoms of the data subject. Those safeguards shall ensure that technical and organisational measures are in place in particular in order to ensure respect for the principle of data minimisation. Those measures may include provided that those purposes can be fulfilled in that manner. Where those purposes can be fulfilled by further which does not permit or no longer permits the identification of data subjects, those purposes shall be fulfilled in that manner.
