Comment: special categories of personal data (e.g. health information) is gathered and handled only in such cases and to the extent that it is essential when considering candidates for a specific job vacancy and it is permissible under current legislation; information about the health of candidates is gathered and handled as permitted under current legislation when it is need to assess whether a potential employee could really do the job in question, considering his state of health; such special categories of personal data are collected only in the final stages of considering candidates for a specific job vacancy.
