I'm having fun with this laborious translation on this baking hot day - sigh...
"Como se estipula en los artículos, 12, 14 y 15, y en los considerando 7 y 30, de la Directiva UE 2016/943, a fin de evitar el beneficio del infractor a costa de la obtención, uso o revelación del secreto y a su vez garantizar que el poseedor del secreto no se vuelva a encontrar en una situación similar, es necesaria la previsión de una indemnización adecuada por el perjuicio sufrido como consecuencia del comportamiento ilícito, el valor del secreto empresarial y la gravedad del comportamiento ilícito."
My assumption is that it is referring to Articles 7 and 30 of the EU directive, but it seems like a strange turn of phrase to me, so I thought I'd better seek some clarification.
Many thanks for any help.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (2): TechLawDC, Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Silvia. I saw that as an option but completely discounted it on the basis that I thought a recital was to do with music! I never imagined it would be a legal term, and assumed it was a strange turn of phrase rather than a specific term.... so I didn't even research it further. Thanks for that. |

Note from asker:
| Thank you - the law does have some very strange terms! |
| I think Phil is right that EU directives call them Recitals, as I've just found this: https://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-120200.htm |

: It's not a judgment, it's an EU directive, where they're called recitals.

This is "Directiva UE 2016/943 in both Spanish and English:

La finalidad de ese método alternativo no es la de imponer una obligación de que se prevean indemnizaciones punitivas, sino de garantizar una indemnización basada en un criterio objetivo, teniendo en cuenta al mismo tiempo los gastos en que haya incurrido el poseedor del secreto comercial, como, por ejemplo, los gastos de identificación e investigación. La presente Directiva no debe impedir que los Estados miembros limiten en su Derecho nacional la responsabilidad por daños y perjuicios de los trabajadores cuando estos no hayan actuado de forma intencionada.

Note from asker:
| Many hanks Taña! The Directive doesn't state whether they are Recitals or Whereas clauses - however, at the top of the list of those clauses, it says "Whereas" and a search of the document does not throw up the word "Recital". However Phil Goddard says above that EU Directives uses the term Recital. |
| Have found this and it seems to answer the question that the EU calls them Recitals: https://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-120200.htm |
Discussion
To all the others who have helped and been supportive: many thanks; that is what a community should be about.
Introductory references in a directive are referred to as "citations" and, as others have pointed out, references in the whereas section are "recitals". The following is taken from the Joint Practical Guide (available in numerous official languages):
"2. ‘Preamble’ means everything between the title and the enacting
terms of the act, namely the citations, the recitals and the solemn
forms which precede and follow them.
7.3. The ‘enacting terms’ are the legislative part of the act. They are
composed of articles, which may be grouped into parts, titles,
chapters and sections (see table in Guideline 15), and may be
accompanied by annexes."
