GDPR - processor to "immediately inform" - indentation matters!

The diagram below encapsulates a brief history of the legislative progress of GDPR Art.28(3)(h) and the final subparagraph of Art.28(3), and a processor's obligation to "immediately inform the controller if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes this Regulation or other Union or Member State data protection provisions".

From a separate sub-paragraph, to same level indented, joined in the same paragraph, separated out again... but that can change the meaning!
