Abstract

Given that European Investigation Orders (EIOs) concern requests for information on an individual, multiple individuals and/or acts connected to those individuals, personal data is frequently processed as part of the request and execution of EIOs. Within the European Union (EU), the processing of personal data is enshrined in primary law, including fundamental rights law and in secondary law. This Chapter outlines the applicable EU data protection legislation that applies to the EIO processes when personal data is processed. In particular, this Chapter distinguishes between the application and scope of the General Data Protection Regulation in the ‘standard’ processing of personal data and of Directive 2016/680 which applies to the processing of personal data for the purposes of law enforcement in tackling crime. Moreover, data protection provisions applicable to the processing of personal data during the EIO procedure will be discussed in detail, including the definitions in data protection law, the principles of data protection and the rights of the data subject.
