any legislation

legislation
.
3
Personal data blocked pursuant to this Article shall, with the exception of their storage, only be processed for purposes of proof of an information exchange by means of IMI with the data subject’s consent, unless processing is requested for overriding reasons in the public interest.

The blocked data shall be automatically deleted in IMI three years after the formal closure of the administrative cooperation procedure.
