REGULATION (EU) 2024/982 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 13 March 2024
on the automated search and exchange of data for police cooperation, and amending Council Decisions 2008/615/JHA and 2008/616/JHA and Regulations (EU) 2018/1726, (EU) No 2019/817 and (EU) 2019/818 of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Prüm II Regulation)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 16(2), Article 87(2), point (a), and Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
The Union has set itself the objective of offering its citizens an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement of persons is ensured. That objective is to be achieved by means of, inter alia, appropriate measures to prevent and combat crime and other threats to public security, including organised crime and terrorism, in line with the communication of the Commission of 24 July 2020 on the EU Security Union Strategy. That objective requires law enforcement authorities to exchange data in an efficient and timely manner in order to effectively prevent, detect and investigate criminal offences. |
(2) |
The objective of this Regulation is to improve, streamline and facilitate the exchange of criminal information and vehicle registration data, for the purpose of preventing, detecting and investigating criminal offences, between Member States’ competent authorities and between Member States and the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), established by Regulation (EU) 2016/794 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), in full compliance with fundamental rights and data protection rules. |

(4) |
Building upon existing procedures for the automated searching of data, this Regulation lays down the conditions and procedures for the automated searching and exchange of DNA profiles, dactyloscopic data, certain vehicle registration data, facial images and police records. That should be without prejudice to the processing of such data in the Schengen Information System (SIS), the exchange of supplementary information related to such data via the SIRENE bureaux pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2018/1862 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) or the rights of individuals whose data is processed therein. |
(5) |
This Regulation establishes a framework for the exchange of information between authorities responsible for the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal offences (the Prüm II framework). In accordance with Article 87(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), it covers all the Member States’ competent authorities, including but not limited to police, customs and other specialised law enforcement services in relation to the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal offences. Therefore, in the context of this Regulation, any authority that is responsible for the... |
