EU: Assessment of compliance pursuant to Article 11(2) - Draft Report
01 October 2011
EU: SWEDISH FRAMEWORK DECISION:
Council of the European Union: Council Framework Decision 2006/960/JHA on simplifying the exchange of information and intelligence between law enforcement authorities of the Member States of the European Union ("Swedish Framework Decision") - Assessment of compliance pursuant to Article 11(2) - Draft Report
"
The "Swedish Framework Decision" (SFD) implements the "principle of availability". "The SFD concept of “information and/or intelligence” covers information or data: which is held by law enforcement authorities [and] which is held by public authorities or by private entities and which is available to law enforcement authorities without taking coercive measures."
"
The majority of MS stated that they do not draw on the SFD on a regular basis for requesting information. In particular, the forms annexed to the SFD for requesting and submitting information were not generally used as this procedure is considered complex and cumbersome."
