Milieu started to work on yet another compliance assessment. This time we are assisting the European Commission with the verification of the transposition of the Police Directive (EU) 2016/680, which regulates the processing of personal data by law enforcement authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties.

Our work will be limited to conducting a completeness and compliance assessment in Germany, Slovenia and Spain, as in these three countries the transposition of the Police Directive was late and thus not yet verified by the Commission. The results of this assessment will enable the Commission to decide on ongoing infringement procedures and on potential further legal actions.
