What about breaches in government entities?

It's quite clear that breaches of data involving government databases (eg Social Security, NHS etc) are also at least as sensitive as phone and bank records, so why are these also excluded?

Of course being a true government entity the EU will do everything it can to exempt itself and the national governments of its members from requirements it imposes on businesses
