Commission publishes study on the practice of direct exchanges of personal data between Europol and private parties

The European Commission has published a "Study on the practice of direct exchanges of personal data between Europol and private parties". The study was conducted by an external contractor and concludes that Europol’s capacity to exchange personal data with private parties should be reinforced.

The Commission is considering ways to improve Europol’s ability to exchange personal data with private parties in order to better support Member States’ investigations.
