Data Protection in EU and US Criminal Cooperation

A Substantive Law Approach to the EU Internal and Transatlantic Cooperation in Criminal Matters Between Judicial and Law Enforcement Authorities

By: Els de Busser

The research in this doctoral thesis examines the protection of personal data in two relationships: between judicial and law enforcement authorities of the EU Member States (including Europol and Eurojust) on the one hand and the US on the other hand. The book provides answers to the central question as to whether the EU complies with her own standards of data protection in these internal relations, as well as in the transatlantic cooperation in criminal matters. The new framework decision on data protection in criminal matters that entered into force in early 2009 is a significant element in this study, alongside the agreement concluded between the EU and the US on the mutual assistance in criminal matters of which the entry into force is equally planned for 2009. The book also reflects on the policy proposals of the EU on justice and home affairs for the period of 2010-2014.

Blueprint for an EU Criminal Records Database

Legal, Politico-institutional and Practical Feasibility ; Advance Copy Final Report

By: Gert Vermeulen,Els de Busser

This book presents the conclusions of a study, concerning the legal, politico-institutional and practical feasibility of an EU criminal records database. The November 2000 Mutual Recognition Plan called for such a study in view of the individualisation of sanctions by judges in the member states and the mutual recognition of disqualifications. The purpose is to find the best way the member states' competent authorities can be informed of an individual's criminal convictions. The study developed recommendations concerning the content and the organisation of an EU criminal records database, taking into account requirements of data protection, identification, notification of the persons involved, rehabilitation and translation. Access to the database by member states, EU bodies, third bodies and third states has been clearly defined, as well as access for employees in vulnerable professions. The proposal for an EU criminal records database takes due account of extensive feedback received from the bodies involved in international exchange of criminal records information and key-actors from the EU member states' and candidate member states' competent authorities. In addition, the responses of these states to the research questionnaire were collected and included. Undoubtedly, this book will be an asset to everyone who is interested in the exchange of information between the EU member states and bodies in criminal matters.

Privacy and Data Protection Issues of Biometric Applications

A Comparative Legal Analysis

By: Els J. Kindt

This book discusses all critical privacy and data protection aspects of biometric systems from a legal perspective. It contains a systematic and complete analysis of the many issues raised by these systems based on examples worldwide and provides several recommendations for a transnational regulatory framework. An appropriate legal framework is in most countries not yet in place. Biometric systems use facial images, fingerprints, iris and/or voice in an automated way to identify or to verify (identity) claims of persons. The treatise which has an interdisciplinary approach starts with explaining the functioning of biometric systems in general terms for non-specialists. It continues with a description of the legal nature of biometric data and makes a comparison with DNA and biological material and the regulation thereof. After describing the risks, the work further reviews the opinions of data protection authorities in relation to biometric systems and current and future (EU) law. A detailed legal comparative analysis is made of the situation in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The author concludes with an evaluation of the proportionality principle and the application of data protection law to biometric data processing operations, mainly in the private sector. Pleading for more safeguards in legislation, the author makes several suggestions for a regulatory framework aiming at reducing the risks of biometric systems. They include limitations to the collection and storage of biometric data as well as technical measures, which could influence the proportionality of the processing. The text is supported by several figures and tables providing a summary of particular points of the discussion. The book also uses the 2012 biometric vocabulary adopted by ISO and contains an extensive bibliography and literature sources.
