The Justice and Home Affairs Council today decided on a strategy for a more effective and secure exchange of law enforcement information in the EU.
[se2009.eu] The lack of a common strategy for the exchange of law enforcement information has so far led to the results of development efforts being unsatisfactory, too expensive and delayed. Poor solutions for information management increase the possibility of violations of personal integrity.
Sweden has presented a proposal for a strategy on how the EU can achieve a more professional, business-oriented and cost-efficient management of IT issues, while focusing on the data protection aspects.
The strategy sets out the basic direction on how we can satisfy both law enforcement needs and privacy protection requirements, involve the right expertise and make decisions at the right level, and work horizontally across borders between different agencies.
“Exchange of information is necessary to effectively combat cross-border crime. The information strategy is important for achieving more efficient and effective management of information and IT development issues,” says Minister for Justice Beatrice Ask.
