35Directive 95/46 includes rules with a degree of flexibility and, in many instances, leaves to the Member States the task of deciding the details or choosing between options (Lindqvist, paragraph 83). A distinction, consequently, must be made between national measures that provide for additional requirements amending the scope of a principle referred to in Article 7 of Directive 95/46, on the one hand, and national measures which provide for a mere clarification of one of those principles, on the other hand. The first type of national measure is precluded. It is only in the context of the second type of national measure that Member States have, pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 95/46, a margin of discretion.
