13 Data protection National data protection regulations ensure a level of data protection in line with the Council of Europe Convention 108/1981 and they have been implemented and reflected in internal business procedures of ILECU We ratified the Additional Protocol (ETS 181) as well as the amendment to the Convention. New Law on Personal Data Protection was adopted and came in force on 1 January 2009 and it is in compliance with Directive 95/46 EC. Other international agreements the regulations of which establish the rules relating to personal data protection within police sector are applied ( see enclosure 1) ILECU is complying with the following Principles: Lawfulness of processing: The ILECU only processes data in accordance with the applicable national and international legislation and its implementing regulations; and it only processes data which have been collected legally. Purpose of processing: The ILECU only processes data for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes. Purpose of transmission: Data are only transmitted by the ILECU if this is necessary in individual cases for the purpose of preventing or combating criminal offences Quality of data: The ILECU processes data if they are accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

14 Data protection Proportionality: The data are adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose for which they are collected, transferred or processed further. Time limits: Data processed for any purpose or purposes are not kept longer than it is necessary for that purpose or purposes. Data security: The ILECU should implement technical and organizational security measures that are appropriate to the risks presented by the processing of data (Yes- during the implementation phase). Supervisory authority: The ILECU is subject to regular review and supervision from the competent national data protection authority. Staff members of the ILECU are provided with training on data protection regulations and their practical application( ongoing process). ILECU have adopted rules on physical security in accordance with the national law and binding requirements of the international cooperation partners. (N.B. Rules on protection have been adopted and it is necessary to raise the level of security in the restricted area). ILECU have adopted rules on ICT security in accordance with the national law and binding requirements of the international cooperation partners (N.B. International Operational Police Cooperation Department has its internal network which is protected and secured. Furthermore, the MOI Intranet network is internal and there are elaborated systems of protection).

15 Measures: Normative harmonisation Serbia has identified the main challenges in the implementation of the Acquis Communautaire on police cooperation. There is partial alignment. Special attention and capacities will be focused on the implementation of the Decision 2008/615/JHA on the stepping up of cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime (Prüm Decision) and the 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 Initiative). The need for setting up a SIRENE bureau within the International Operational Police Cooperation Department for the purpose of information exchange and the statistics with a view to meeting the commitment to exchange information with other Member States 24/7 has also been identified. Comprehensive analysis of needs with regard to legal, technical, staff and infrastructure requirements and their costs with a view to harmonization with the relevant parts of the Schengen acquis until the accession to the EU as well as with a view to the admission to Schengen. The conclusion of the Agreement on Operational Cooperation with Europol is expected to take place soon.

16 Measures: Strengthening the institutional and administrative framework The analysis of the current state with regard to the necessary resources for efficient international police cooperation: Equipment (computer and communication equipment) Human resources (analysis of needs for increasing the number of employees, analysis of needs for trainings) Training of officers in international police cooperation in relation to: Use of Europol databases Introduction of new information exchange systems (SIS, Prüm) Standards of personal data protection and confidentiality of data Work with Europol Analytical Work Files Access to the Schengen Information System and gradual filling of work posts within the SIRENE Bureau Foreign languages
