Denmark || no information provided Germany || this question can only be answered once the assessment on the necessity to adopt further implementing legislation has been finalised Estonia || no information provided Ireland || not currently; code of practice on data protection for an garda siochana is in place since November 2007 Greece || no information provided Spain || no issues affecting the implementation of the provisions of the Framework Decision France || the only question which affects the implementation of the Framework Decision is the one in relation to the duration of the storage of data coming from a foreign country in case the latter applies restrictions on the duration of the storage in comparison to the storage period in France (and vice versa). Italy || No major difficulties currently hamper implementation However, - it is difficult to distinguish in practice between cross-border processing of data under the FD 2008/977 and processing at national level; - impact on judicial and police activities when harmonising and coordinating national legislation with EU legislation; - impact of FD 2008/977 on VIS for investigative or crime prevention purposes. - necessity to provide for an adequate and uniform level of data protection for data transfer to third countries. Cyprus || no information provided Latvia || no obstacles hamper implementation. Lithuania || no issues affect the proper implementation of the FD Luxembourg || no information provided Hungary || no information provided Malta || No issues affect the proper implementation of the FD Netherlands || no serious shortcomings at national level which hamper correct implementation; however, the Framework Decision contains ambiguities in some areas which may hamper due implementation by the law enforcement authorities; 1. Law enforcement authorities then have to cope with two different processing regimes for the same personal data. This gives rise to confusion as to the rules applicable to data processing and transmission, i.e. the rules for the transmission of police data to other Member States – and to Europol and Eurojust – and the rules for the transmission of personal data to third States. In relation to the transmission of personal data to other Member States, the provisions of the Data Protection Framework Decision are of a supplementary nature. Other provisions remain in full force, such as those of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, Council Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA of 18 December 2006 on simplifying the exchange of information and intelligence between law enforcement authorities of the Member States of the European Union and Council Framework Decision 2009/315/JHA of 26 February 2009 on the organisation and content of the exchange of information extracted from the criminal record between Member States.. 2. The Framework Decision links the transfer of personal data to third States to the criterion of an appropriate level of protection. However, no further details are given regarding this criterion. In this respect, there is a need for more alignment between the Member States, on the one hand, and between the Member States and the Commission, on the other, to offer sufficient to go by for practical implementation to ensure correct application of the rules. Finally, the Dutch language version of FD 2008/977/JHA contains a few ambiguities which hamper correct implementation. They need to be adjusted (Firstly, this concerns the marking and referencing of data. The definitions in Article 2, points c and j, are not very consistent with the text of Article 18(2) of the Framework Decision; it is not clear to what extent Article 18(2) contains an obligation to reference data; Secondly, this concerns the text of Article 17(1)(a), the Dutch version of which is materially different from the English.). Austria || no information provided Poland || Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA contained numerous deficiencies, which should be clarified and adjusted; for this reason it is worth considering whether the scope of application of general rules on personal data protection should not be extended to the area of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, taking into account the specificity of the sector and the resulting restrictions and exemptions. Portugal || no major difficulties; but area is complex and highly sensitive and becomes even more so against the background of the new legal framework for the protection of personal data Romania || no reaction to Commission request of 9.12.2011 and reminder Slovenia || no issues reported which hamper implementation of Framework Decision. Slovakia || However, the preparation of implementing legislation indicates one problematic area: the clear and precise definition of the conditions for processing the personal data at national level and as part of judicial (police) cooperation; there is a tendency here for legislation to overlap. In addition, the nature of police activities (the investigation of criminal acts) and the nature of court proceedings are two different categories of public authority activity, and the extent and nature of the public is also a factor that determines the scope and manner of personal data protection; in this sense we believe that the Framework Decision does not distinguish sufficiently between these two sets of specificities." Finland || No issues reported which hamper implementation; Express reference to a draft Bill for an Act amending the Act on the Processing of Personal Data by the Police which is currently being debated by the Finnish parliament. Sweden || No issues reported which hamper implementation; It is considered important for the modernisation of the EU's regulatory framework on data protection to continue to provide scope for special regulations at national level for various authorities and sectors; express reference made that for police and judicial cooperation it is important that future regulation takes the specific requirements in this area into account. United Kingdom || No specific issues with the provisions of the FD 2008/977. [1] Some
