...it is often deemed necessary for data processing in this field to be covered by a high level of data protection does not go below the safeguards found in general data protection instruments and prohibits the departure from fundamental principles without proper and adequate justification(125). The bold part, please. I'm bored in class and can't be bothered to put in the thought myself. Whoever comes up with the best phrasing gets to be my best friend for the rest of the week.SpoilerJust doing my part to boost thread count, as we all should.
i thought about undermine, but i don't think it works well in this context

The utmost general rules already apply in all of Europe, but this deals with two simultaneously introduced pieces of legislation. One is on general data protection, the other on a specific sector. The idea is that the specific sector shouldn't go below what is introduced by the general regulation.

The idea is that the specific sector shouldn't go below what is introduced by the general regulation.Undermine doesn't have to directly mean "to damage" within the sentence, it just means "to go below", which if a standard of data protection was lower than the other... it's going below.Am I missing something here? Even if the lower standard is still exemplary, it's still undermining the safeguards of some instrument that has a higher standard.Are you sure? I just checked dictionary.com, thesaurus.com, Merriam Webster and the Cambridge/Oxford Dictionary, and all of them say it basically either means to physically undermine (as in to dig a tunnel below) or to weaken / make less effective / damage / impair / subvert something else. I'm not seeing anything that suggests it just means "not be as good as" or "isn't at the same level as".
