Joint investigation teams: alignment with Union rules on the protection of personal data

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted a report by Jeroen LENAERS (EPP, NL) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA, as regards its alignment with EU rules on the protection of personal data.

The committee responsible recommended that European Parliament adopt its position at first reading, taking over the Commission proposal.

As a reminder, in  the interests of consistency and effective protection of personal data, the proposal for a directive seeks to amend the Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA on joint investigation teams by aligning the cases of use of personal data collected by joint investigation teams with the purpose limitation principle as regulated by Directive (EU) 2016/680 (Data Protection Directive in the field of law enforcement).
