contractor requests EFSA ex-ante authorisation and obtains from EFSA a written consent in this regard. 

In addition, the contractor selected as a result of the present procurement procedure shall be solely responsible and liable for the following: 

- To ensure that terms and conditions asserted by any copyright holder of publications or information referred to in the final deliverable for EFSA are fully satisfied; 

- To make the necessary arrangements enabling EFSA to reproduce and make non-commercial use of publications and information referred to in the final deliverable it commissioned. As needed, the contractor shall consult with copyright licensing authorities (i.e. at national level) for guidance on purchasing copyright licenses to reproduce any publications provided to EFSA. The contractor remains solely responsible and liable for obtaining all necessary authorizations and rights to use, reproduce and share the publications provided to EFSA. 

If the materials (e.g. source code) are not fully created for the purpose of the contract, or subject to licensing not compatible with EUPL 6 , this should be clearly pointed out in the design phase of the solutions, during the execution of specific contracts/order forms. The use of non-EUPL compatible code should be flagged at the earliest possible stage, to allow EFSA to take decision about using or not this option. Information should be provided about the scope of pre-existing materials, their source and when and how the rights to these materials have been or will be acquired. 

## Use of results 

EFSA is committed to the publication of contract deliverables - such as supporting evidence in the form of datasets, raw data, protocols etc. in the Knowledge Junction 7 or a similar EFSA repository in order to improve transparency, reproducibility and evidence reuse. The Knowledge Junction repository of EFSA runs on the EU-funded Zenodo research-sharing platform where uploaded items receive a unique Digital Object Identifier to make them citable. Any part of an output resulting from this contract may be published (at EFSA’s discretion) on the Knowledge Junction repository, with attribution to the contractor, and several deliverables can be cross-linked among them and to the published final Report on Wiley Online Library. 

EFSA can require in the specific contracts/order forms that the developed source code, cleared by security information (e.g. name/address of servers, passwords), is published in GitHub or other public code repository under EUPL. 

## 1.6 PERSONAL DATA AND CONFIDENTIALITY 

Processing of personal data in the context of this contract shall comply with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 (‘the EDPR’). The EDPR constitutes the specific data protection legal framework applicable to EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, including EFSA and is aligned with the rules and principles under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), applicable in the European Union.
