In the Google Spain Case, the European Court of Justice (CJEU) notes that an individual can request the deletion of data "where [the data] appear to be inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive." Having a look at the previous Data Protection Directive(https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31995L0046:en:HTML) , from which words of the Directive did the Court derive this conclusion? Where would such words be found in the GDPR?
