The JSB calls upon the Commission to provide hard evidence to prove that it is necessary for Europol to access EURODAC data: Joint Supervisory Body (JSB) of Europol opinion with respect to the European Commission's amended proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of EURODAC

- Press release (Press release, pdf)
- Opinion (pdf):

"The European Commission has provided no evidence to prove law enforcement access to EURODAC is necessary.

"The citizens whose data are processed in EURODAC are a vulnerable group of people whose personal information requires careful handling and - like all citizens - fair and lawful treatment.

"Impact assessments carried out in relation to the proposal provide no information demonstrating the need for Europol to access EURODAC data.

"Europol should not have greater access to EURODAC data than the Member States. Member States without access to EURODAC data should not be allowed to effectively circumvent the law by accessing EURODAC data via Europol."

Our work is only possible with your support.
