Title: Legal arrangements of data exchange mechanisms of the PrmConvention


1
Legal arrangements ofdata exchange mechanismsof
the Prüm-Convention
2
What preceded
  • Exchange of information between police
    authorities informal
  • Since 1995 Schengen regulated, formal

3
27 may 2005 Prüm Convention (1)
  • Purpose intensifying accelerating cross-border
    police cooperation (not judicial cooperation!)
  • Parties Belgium, Germany, Finland, France,
    Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria,
    Slovenia, Spain

4
Accession States
27 may 2005 Prüm Convention (2)
5
27 may 2005 Prüm Convention (3)
  • Prüm has its own mechanism for the protection of
    personal data (in addition to the
    Strasbourg-Convention of 1981)
  • Pilot for EU-Council Decision
  • DE-AT the beginning of Prüm (November 2006)

6
Results for Germany
  • Reference date 01.06.2007
  • Hits classified to various crime categories.

Automated exchange mechanisms
  • 1) DNA-profiles 2) Fingerprinting data 3)
    Vehicle
  • registration data
  • hit/no-hit basis
  • exclude personal data
    include personal data (of owners or
    operators)
  • national contact points
  • exchange of personal data through judicial
    assistance

8
Automated search/comparison
  • 2) Fingerprinting
  • only reference data
  • for investigation prevention of criminal
    offences
  • individual cases
  • bulk comparisonpractically not possible
  • DNA
  • only reference data
  • only for investigation of criminal offences
    (Decl. AT/SI)
  • individual cases (traceables)
  • bulk comparisonautomated comparison
    untraceables to all DNA-profiles after mutual
    consent of the countries involved

9
  • If the searching of a DNA- or fingerprint
    database shows a hit/match
  • exchange of further personal data and other
    information through judicial cooperation.
  • Schengen-Agreement
  • EU-Convention (2000)
  • European Convention (1959)
  • Benelux 2004
  • NL-DE treaty of Enschede (2005)
  • Decl. BELU

10
Automated search/comparison 3) Vehicle
registration data
  • Data relating to owners/operators/vehicles may be
    supplied
  • for the prevention of criminal offences
  • for the investigation of criminal offences
  • when dealing with other offences (e.g. NL
    bestuurlijke afdoening, DE ordnungswidrigkeiten,
    FR ordonnance pénale).
  • for purposes of maintaining public order and
    security
  • only in individual cases
  • through national contact point
  • Searches
  • with full chassis number or full registration
    number
  • only in compliance with the national law of the
    searching party

11
Conclusions/questions
  • Automated exchange of information (concerning
    DNA/fingerprint) takes place for the purpose of
    police-investigation.
  • The usage of the information as evidence needs an
    extra procedural step judicial intervention.
  • Statement
  • Technical mechanisms (like the hit/no
    hit-system) may make legal arrangements
    unnecessary.
