(2) To store all operational personal data securely, Eurojust established a case management system composed of temporary work files and an index. Through the case management system, national members of Eurojust exchange all case related information securely and in full compliance with the data protection rules. Eurojust may not establish any other automated data file to process operational personal data.
(3) Regulation (EU) 2023/2131 of the European Parliament and the Council 6 amended Regulation (EU) 2018/1727 to provide the legal framework for a modernised case management system. That new case management system is to integrate and enable the functionalities of the European Judicial Counter-Terrorism Register and improve Eurojust’s ability to identify links between cross-border judicial proceedings against suspects of terrorist offences and information processed at Eurojust relating to other cases of serious crimes while taking, as a rule, full advantage of existing national and Union mechanisms for comparing biometric data.
(4) The deadline for setting up the new case management system is 1 December 2025. However, due to external factors and the complexity of the migration, Eurojust will not be able to set up the new case management system within that deadline. Therefore, until the new case management system is set up, it is necessary to provide that Eurojust may continue to use the case management system composed of temporary work files and an index.
(5) To allow Eurojust to test and ensure the operationality and interoperability of the new case management system in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/903 of the European Parliament and of the Council 7 , and to migrate the data from the case management system composed of temporary work files and an index to the new case management system, it is necessary to extend the deadline.
(6) Eurojust should be able to maintain the case management system composed of temporary work files and an index after the new case management system has taken up operations to migrate the data from the case management system composed of temporary work files and an index to the new case management system and verify the correctness of the migrated data, but not beyond the 1 December 2027. The extension of the current timeframe for the establishment of the new case management system by two years should give Eurojust sufficient time to finalise the set-up of the new case management system, while limiting the period within which the duplication of operational personal data is exceptionally permitted.
(7) [In accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 4a(1) of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, Ireland is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application.] OR [In accordance with Article 3 and Article 4a(1) of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Ireland has notified [, by letter of …,] its wish to take part in the adoption and application of this Regulation.]
(8) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
(9) The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 and delivered an opinion on [...].
