Press Release: Commission proposes to improve exchange of law enforcement information amongst Member States

The European Commission on 12 October 2005 adopted a proposal for a Framework Decision on exchange of information under the principle of availability. The aim of this proposal was to make certain types of existing law enforcement relevant information available in one Member State also available to authorities with equivalent competences of other Member States or Europol. The Framework Decision aimed to eliminate the unpredictability of traditional exchange-mechanism based on the application of the law of the requested Member States by combining mutual recognition and equivalent access to information.
