The European Parliament adopted by 433 votes to 157, with 34 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Production and Preservation Orders for electronic evidence in criminal matters.
The European Parliament's position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure amends the Commission's proposal as follows:
Coherent EU framework for handling electronic evidence
The regulation lays down the rules under which an authority of a Member State, in criminal proceedings, may issue a European Production Order or a European Preservation Order and thereby order a service provider offering services in the Union and established in another Member State, or, if not established, represented by a legal representative in another Member State, to produce or to preserve electronic evidence regardless of the location of the data. This regulation covers the data categories of subscriber data, traffic data and content data.
The issuing of a European Production Order or of a European Preservation Order may also be requested by a suspect or an accused person, or by a lawyer on that person’s behalf within the framework of applicable defence rights in accordance with national criminal procedural law.
The regulation will apply without prejudice to fundamental principles, in particular the freedom of expression and information, including the freedom and pluralism of the media, respect for private and family life, the protection of personal data, as well as the right to effective judicial protection.
European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders may be issued only in the framework and for the purposes of criminal proceedings, and for the execution of a custodial sentence or a detention order of at least four months, following criminal proceedings, imposed by a decision that was not rendered in absentia, in cases where the person convicted absconded from justice.
European production orders and European preservation orders will be addressed directly to a designated establishment or a legal representative of the service provider concerned.
Execution of a European Production Order Certificate (EPOC)
Upon receipt of an EPOC, the addressee will act expeditiously to preserve the data requested. The addressee will ensure that the requested data are transmitted directly to the issuing authority or the law enforcement authorities as indicated in the EPOC at the end of that 10-day period . In emergency cases, the addressee will transmit the requested data without undue delay, at the latest within eight hours following receipt of the EPOC.
Where a notification to the enforcing authority is required, the enforcing authority may, if it decides to raise a ground for refusal, without delay and at the latest within 96 hours following receipt of the notification, notify the issuing authority and the addressee that it objects to the use of the data. Where a ground for refusal is raised by the enforcing authority, if the data have already been transmitted by the addressee to the issuing authority, the issuing authority will delete or otherwise restrict the use of the data or, in the event that the enforcing authority has specified conditions, the issuing authority will comply with those conditions when using the data.
Execution of a European Preservation Order Certificate (EPOC-PR)
Upon receipt of an EPOC-PR, the addressee will, without undue delay, preserve the data requested. The obligation to preserve the data will cease after 60 days . During that 60-day period, the issuing authority may, using the form, extend the duration of the obligation to preserve the data by an additional 30-day period, where necessary to allow for the issuing of a subsequent request for production. Where the preservation is no longer necessary, the issuing authority will inform the addressee without undue delay and the obligation to preserve on the basis of the relevant European Preservation Order will cease.
Grounds for refusal of European production orders
The Enforcing authority will, when notified, be able to refuse a European production order on the following grounds:
- the data requested are protected by immunities or privileges granted under the law of the enforcing State which prevent the execution or enforcement of the order, or the data requested are covered by rules on the determination or limitation of criminal liability that relate to freedom of the press or freedom of expression in other media, which prevent the execution or enforcement of the order;
- in exceptional situations, there are substantial grounds to believe, on the basis of specific and objective evidence, that the execution of the order would, in the particular circumstances of the case, entail a manifest breach of a relevant fundamental right as set out in Article 6 TEU and in the Charter;
- the execution of the order would be contrary to the principle of ne bis in idem ;
- the conduct for which the order has been issued does not constitute an offence under the law of the enforcing State.
Where the enforcement authority invokes a ground for refusal, it will inform the addressee and the issuing authority.
Members also ensured that authorities requesting sensitive data would, in most cases, be required to inform the authorities of the target country in order to ensure transparency (such as traffic data, except where it is only used for identification purposes, and content data).
User information and confidentiality
The amended text specifies that the issuing authority will, without undue delay, inform the person whose data are being requested about the production of data on the basis of a European Production Order. Any person whose data were requested via a European Production Order should have the right to effective remedies against that order.
Sanctions
Without prejudice to national laws providing for the imposition of criminal penalties, Member States will lay down the rules on pecuniary penalties applicable to infringements of this Regulation and should take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. Pecuniary penalties provided for must be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. Member States will ensure that pecuniary penalties of up to 2 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the service provider’s preceding financial year can be imposed.
Secure digital communication and data exchange between competent authorities and service providers and between competent authorities
Written communication between competent authorities and designated establishments or legal representatives under this Regulation, including the exchange of forms provided for in this Regulation and the data requested under a European Production Order or a European Preservation Order, will be carried out through a secure and reliable decentralised IT system.
The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report by Birgit SIPPEL (S&D, DE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Production and Preservation Orders for electronic evidence in criminal matters.
As a reminder, the Commission proposed two instruments, this proposal for a Regulation on European Production and Preservation Orders for electronic evidence in criminal matters and a proposal for a Directive laying down harmonised rules on the appointment of legal representatives for the purpose of gathering evidence in criminal proceedings.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission proposal.
Subject matter
The proposed Regulation aims to lay down the rules under which an authority of a Member State, in a criminal proceeding, may order a service provider offering services in the Union and established or, if not established, legally represented in another Member State to produce or preserve electronic information that may serve as evidence, regardless of the location of data.
Authorities of the Member States should not issue domestic orders with extraterritorial effects for the production or preservation of electronic information that could be requested on the basis of this Regulation. The issuing of a European Production or Preservation Order could also be requested on behalf of a suspected or accused person, within the framework of applicable defence rights in accordance with national criminal procedures.
Scope
Members stipulated that this Regulation should apply to Member States and service providers, offering services in one or more Member States bound by this Regulation and established or legally represented in one of these Member States.
This Regulation should not apply to proceedings initiated by the issuing authority for the purpose of providing mutual legal assistance to another Member State or a third country.
Conditions for issuing European Preservation and Production Orders
The European Preservation and Production Orders may be issued if they are necessary and proportionate. They should only be issued if they could have been ordered under the same conditions in a similar domestic case in the issuing State, where there are sufficient reasons to believe that a crime has been committed, where it is grave enough to justify the cross-border preservation of the data and where the requested information is relevant for that investigation.
If the issuing authority has reasons to believe that data requested is protected by immunities and privileges granted under the law of the Member State where the service provider is addressed, or its preservation may impact fundamental interests of that Member State such as national security and defence, the issuing authority should seek clarification before issuing the European Preservation Order, including by consulting the competent authorities of the Member State concerned, either directly or via Eurojust or the European Judicial Network in criminal matters.
Where the issuing authority finds that the requested data is protected by such immunities and privileges or its preservation would impact fundamental interests of the other Member State, the issuing authority should not issue the European Preservation Order.
Common European exchange system
The Commission should establish a common European exchange system with secure channels for the handling of authorised cross-border communication, authentication and transmission of the Orders and of the requested data between the competent authorities and service providers.
Execution of an EPOC for subscriber data and IP addresses for the sole purpose of identifying a person
An EPOC for subscriber data and IP addresses, for the sole purpose of identifying a person, should be addressed directly and simultaneously: (i) to the main establishment of the service provider or, where applicable, where its legal representative is established; and (ii) to the executing authority.
Upon receipt of an EPOC for subscriber data or IP addresses for the sole purpose of identifying a person, the service provider should ensure that the requested data is transmitted to the issuing authority at the latest within 10 days upon receipt of the EPOC and within 16 hours in emergency cases.
PURPOSE: to lay down the rules on the European Production and Preservation Orders under which a service provider offering services in the Union may be compelled to produce or preserve electronic evidence.
PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure on an equal footing with the Council.
BACKGROUND: social media, webmail, messaging services and applications connect hundreds of millions of users to one another and generate significant benefits. However, they can also be misused as tools to commit crimes , including serious crimes such as terrorist attacks. When that happens, these services and apps are often the only place where investigators can find leads to determine who committed a crime and obtain evidence that can be used in court.
The Council Conclusions of 9 June 2016 underlined the increasing importance of electronic evidence in criminal proceedings, and of protecting cyberspace from abuse and criminal activities for the benefit of economies and societies.
The current EU legal framework consists of Union cooperation instruments in criminal matters, inter alia, the Directive 2014/41/EU regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters (EIO Directive), and the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union,
The European Parliament, in its resolution on the fight against cybercrime of 3 October 2017, highlighted the challenges that the currently fragmented legal framework can create for service providers seeking to comply with law enforcement requests and calling on the Commission to put forward a Union legal framework for electronic evidence, including safeguards for the rights and freedoms of all concerned
By introducing European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders, the proposal makes it easier to secure and gather electronic evidence for criminal proceedings stored or held by service providers in another jurisdiction. The new instrument will not replace the EIO for obtaining electronic evidence but provides an additional tool for authorities. There may be situations, for example when several investigative measures need to be carried out in the executing Member State, where the EIO may be the preferred choice for public authorities. Creating a new instrument for electronic evidence is a better alternative than amending the EIO Directive because of the specific challenges inherent in obtaining electronic evidence which do not affect the other investigative measures covered by the EIO Directive.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT: four main policy options were considered besides the baseline scenario of taking no action. The preferred solution is a legislative instrument for a European Production Order and measures to improve access to databases that provide subscriber information.
CONTENT: the proposed Regulation introduces binding European Production and Preservation Orders. Both Orders need to be issued or validated by a judicial authority of a Member State. Such Orders may only be issued if a similar measure is available for the same criminal offence in a comparable domestic situation in the issuing State. Both Orders can be served on providers of electronic communication services, social networks, online marketplaces, other hosting service providers and providers of internet infrastructure such as IP address and domain name registries, or on their legal representatives.
European Production Order : this will allow a judicial authority in one Member State to request electronic data that are necessary as evidence in criminal investigations or criminal proceedings (such as emails, text or messages in apps) directly from a service provider offering services in the Union and established or represented in another Member State, regardless of the location of data.
The proposal introduces mandatory deadlines for addressees. The normal deadline is 10 days, while authorities may set a shorter deadline where justified. Moreover, in emergency cases , defined as a situation where there is an imminent threat to life or physical integrity of a person or to a critical infrastructure, the deadline is 6 hours (as compared to 120 days for the existing European Investigation Order or 10 months for a Mutual Legal Assistance procedure).
European Production Orders to produce transactional or content data (as opposed to subscriber and access data) may only be issued for criminal offences punishable in the issuing State by a custodial sentence of a maximum of at least 3 years , or for specific cyber-dependent, cyber-enabled or terrorism-related crimes.
European Preservation Order : this will allow a judicial authority in one Member State to oblige a service provider offering services in the Union and established or represented in another Member State to prevent data from being deleted and preserve specific data to enable the authority to request this information later via mutual legal assistance, a European Investigation Order or a European Production Order.
The European Preservation Order only allows preserving data that is already stored at the time of receipt of the Order, not the access to data at a future point in time after the receipt of the Order.
Safeguards: the proposal sets out procedural safeguards as well as rules on data protection. A judicial authority must validate Orders. Personal data covered by this proposal may only be processed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation) and Regulation (EU) 2016/680 (Data Protection Directive for Police and Criminal Justice Authorities).
For the serving and execution of orders under this instrument, authorities should rely on the legal representative designated by the service providers. The Commission has presented a proposal to ensure that such legal representatives are effectively designated.

Amendment 276 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Network-based services can be provided from anywhere and do not require a physical infrastructure, premises or staff in the relevant country. As a consequence, relevant electronic information serving as evidence is often stored outside of the investigating State or by a service provider established outside of this State. Frequently, there is no other connection between the case under investigation in the State concerned and the State of the place of storage or of the main establishment of the service provider.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9 a) The European Investigation Order (EIO), established by Directive 2014/41/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council9aa provides for the acquisition, access and production of evidence in one Member State for criminal investigations and proceedings in another Member State. The procedures and timelines foreseen in the EIO could not be appropriate for electronic evidence, which is more volatile and could more easily and quickly be deleted. This Regulation therefore provides for specific procedures that address the nature of electronic evidence. However, in order to avoid a long-term fragmentation of the Union framework for judicial cooperation in criminal matters, in the mid-term, the Commission should assess and ,if possible, propose legislation that would integrate this Regulation into the framework of the EIO. _________________ 9aaDirective 2014/41/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters, OJ L 130, 1.5.2014, p. 1

In accordance with Articles 7 and 8(1) of the Charter and Article 16(1) of the TFEU, everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications and to the protection of personal data concerning them. When implementing this Regulation, Member States should ensure that privacy and personal data are protected and processed only in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Directive (EU) 2016/680 and Directive 2002/58/EC.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11 a) Where the Parliament, Commission, or Member States have activated the Article 7 mechanism, having determined a breach of Article 2, the Commission should issue a recommendation to Member States to instruct their executing authorities to review EPOC and EPOC-PR requests on the basis of this Regulation, originating in those States in breach, with a higher level of scrutiny and in light of the determination.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) This Regulation respects fundamental rights as guaranteed by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and as they result from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. These include the right to liberty and security, the respect for private and family life, the protection of personal data, the freedom to conduct a business, the right to property, the right to an effective remedy and to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence and right of defence, the principles of the legality and proportionality, as well as the right not to be tried or punished twice in criminal proceedings for the same criminal offence.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) The determination whether a service provider offers services in the Union requires an assessment whether the service provider intentionally enables legal or natural persons in one or more Member States to use its services. However, the mere accessibility of an online interface as for instance the accessibility of the service provider’s or an intermediary’s website or of an email address and of other contact details in one or more Member States taken in isolation, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, should not be a sufficient condition for the application of this Regulation.
Amendment 316 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) A substantial connection to the Union should also be relevant to determine the ambit of application of the present Regulation. Such a substantial connection to the Union should be considered to exist where the service provider has an establishment in the Union. In the absence of such an establishment, the criterion of a substantial connection should be assessed on the basis of the existence of a significant number of users in one or more Member States, or the targeting of activities towards one or more Member States. The targeting of activities towards one or more Member States can be determined on the basis of all relevant circumstances, including factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in that Member State, or the possibility of ordering goods or services. The targeting of activities towards a Member State could also be derived

Amendment 326 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 32 (32) There are specific offences where evidence will typically be available exclusively in electronic form, which is particularly fleeting in nature. This is the case for cyber-related crimes, even those which might not be considered serious in and of themselves but which may cause extensive or considerable damage, in particular including cases of low individual impact but high volume and overall damage. For most cases where the offence has been committed by means of an information system, applying the same threshold as for other types of offences would predominantly lead to impunity. This justifies the application of the Regulation also for those offences where the penalty frame is less than 3 years of imprisonment.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 Amendment 330 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 34 a (new) (34 a) The confidentiality of the ongoing investigation, including the fact that there has been an Order to obtain relevant data, has to be protected in order not to jeopardize its success and to protect other persons involved, especially victims. For this reason, the addressee of the order and the service provider should refrain from informing the person whose data is being sought where necessary and proportionate to protect the fundamental rights and legitimate interests of another person. If the issuing authority expressly allows it, the addressee or service provider should be able to inform the respective person that his or her data is being sought.
Amendment 331 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 35 (35) Immunities and privileges, which may refer to categories of persons (such as diplomats) or specifically protected relationships (such as lawyer-client privilege), are referred to in other mutual recognition instruments such as the European Investigation Order. Their range and impact differ according to the applicable national law that should be taken into account at the time of issuing the Order, as the issuing authority may only issue the Order if a similar order would be available in a comparable domestic situation.

Amendment 346 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 40 a (new) (40 a) In emergency cases, the executing authority should recognise the EPOC, when transmitted in accordance with this Regulation, without any measure or formality being necessary and ensure its execution in the same way and under the same modalities as if the investigative measure concerned had been ordered by an authority of the executing State, within 24 hours upon receipt of the EPOC, while the service provider should preserve the requested data. If the executing authority has not invoked any of the grounds listed in this Regulation within that 24 hours period, the service provider to which the order is addressed should immediately ensure that the requested data is transmitted directly to the issuing authority or to the law enforcement authorities as indicated in the EPOC.

Amendment 349 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 41 (41) In order to allow service providers to address formal problems, it is necessary to set out a procedure for the communication between the service provider and the issuing judicial authority in cases where the EPOC might be incomplete or contains manifest errors or not enough information to execute the Order. This procedure should exist irrespective of any possible notifications obligation depending on specific situation as this is a problem that mainly occurs for the addressee itself as the service provider will be the best placed to realise whether the information he received are sufficient to comply with the order. Moreover, should the service provider not provide the information in an exhaustive or timely manner for any other reason, for example because it thinks there is a conflict with an obligation under the law of a third country, or because it thinks the European Production Order has not been issued in accordance with the conditions set out by this Regulation, it should go back to the issuing authorities and provide the opportune justifications. The communication procedure thus should broadly allow for the correction or reconsideration of the EPOC by the issuing authority at an early stage. To guarantee the availabilty of the data, the service provider should preserve the data if they can identify the data sought.
Amendment 350 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 41 a (new) (41 a) Although the added value of this Regulation lies in the fact that the issuing authority can address the service provider without having to go through mutual legal assistance, it is reasonable to notify the enforcing authority of a European Production Order where it concerns transactional or content data, given their high level of sensitivity, and the issuing authority has reasonable grounds to believe that the person whose data is sought is not residing on the territory of the issuing Member State. In such case, the issuing authority should submit a copy of the EPOC to the enforcing authority at the same that the EPOC is submitted to the addressee. In order to ensure the efficiency of the European Production Order, the notification should not have a suspensive effect on the obligations of the addressee to produce the requested data and to send them to the issuing authority. However, the notified authority may raise objections in relation to a limited number of grounds which should be raised as soon as possible but no later than 10 days. If necessary to establish whether one of the grounds exists, the authority should be able to request additional information from the issuing authority, which should be given 10 days to provide information or withdraw the Order. As far as the objection raised concerns regarding immunities and privileges under national law of the enforcing Member State, the issuing authority should be able to request the enforcing authority to request the competent authority to waive these immunities or privileges. When raising an objection, the enforcing Member State should also inform the issuing authority whether it may consequentially not use the data or only use it only under specified conditions. The issuing authority should take this information into account. In cases where the enforcing authority informed the issuing authority that it may not use the data, the latter should make no further use of these data but delete them immediately.
Amendment 351 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 41 b (new) (41 b) It should be possible to object to an order where its execution in the executing State would involve a breach in the immunity or privilege in that State. There is no common definition of what constitutes an immunity or privilege in Union law. The precise definition of these terms is therefore left to national law, which could include protections which apply to medical and legal professions, but should not be interpreted in a way to counter the obligation to abolish certain grounds for refusal as set out in the Protocol to the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union1a. _________________ 1a Protocol established by the Council in accordance with Article 34 of the Treaty on European Union to the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union (OJ C 326, 21.11.2001, p. 2).

Proposal for a regulation Recital 42 (42) Upon receipt of a European Preservation Order Certificate (‘EPOC- PR’), the service provider should preserve requested data for a maximum of 60 days unless the issuing authority informs the service provider that it has launched the procedure for issuing a subsequent request for production, in which case the preservation should be continued. The 60 day period is calculated to allow for the launch of an official request. This requires that at least some formal steps have been taken, for example by sending a mutual legal assistance request to translation. Following receipt of that information, the data should be preserved as long as necessary until the data is produced in the framework of a subsequent request for production. Only when necessary to allow further assessment of the relevance of the data in ongoing investigations and prevent the issuing of European Production Order for the sake of making sure that potentially relevant data is not lost, before the referred preservation period ends, the issuing authority could send a request to prolong the preservation of data by up to 60 days.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 43 a (new) (43 a) The data obtained on the basis of this Regulation may be of relevance also for other situations. However, the possibility to make use of the electronic information obtained through a European Production Order in other proceedings and for another purpose than the one for which the Order was issued and its transfer or transmission should be restricted. The use, transmission or transfer of electronic evidence for other purposes than the one for which it was obtained originally should only be possible where the data are needed to prevent an immediate and serious threat to public security of the respective Member State or third country as well as their essential interests. International transfer of electronic evidence is furthermore subject to conditions as set out in Chapter V of Directive (EU) 2016/680. In cases where the obtained personal data is used for the prevention of an immediate and serious threat to public security of the respective Member State or third country as well as their essential interests, and such threat could not lead to criminal investigations, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 should apply.
Amendment 360 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 43 a (new) (43 a) The data acquired on the basis of this Regulation may be relevant also in other cases. Therefore, the possibility to make use of the electronic information acquired through a European Production Order also in other proceedings and for other purposes different from the one for which the Order was originally issued should be provided. The use, transmission or transfer of electronic evidence acquired for other purposes than the one for which it was originally obtained should only be possible where the data are needed to prevent an immediate and serious threat to public security of a Member State.
Amendment 361 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 43 b (new) (43 b) When assessing the admissibility of electronic information obtained in accordance with this Regulation, the competent judicial authorities should at any stage of the proceedings take into account the rights of the defence and the fairness of the proceedings.

It should be erased as soon as the criminal proceedings come to a legally binding end and the electronic information is no longer relevant for any other compatible purpose.

Where the issuing authority decides to uphold the Order, it should inform the addressees of its decision. The executing authority, while duly taking into account the decision of the issuing authority, should take a final decision based on the criteria listed in this Regulation, within 10 days of receiving the decision of the issuing authority, and inform the issuing authority, the service provider, and, where applicable, the affected State of its final decision.

Amendment 374 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 51 (51) Where conflicting obligations exist, the court should determine whether the conflicting provisions of the third country prohibit disclosure of the data concerned on the grounds that this is necessary to either protect the fundamental rights of the individuals concerned or the fundamental interests of the third country related to national security or defence. In carrying out this assessment, the court should take into account whether the third country law, rather than being intended to protect fundamental rights or fundamental interests of the third country related to national security or defence, manifestly seeks to protect other interests or is being aimed to shield illegal activities from law enforcement requests in the context of criminal investigations. Where the court concludes that conflicting provisions of the third country prohibit disclosure of the data concerned on the grounds that this is necessary to either protect the fundamental rights of the individuals concerned or the fundamental interests of the third country related to national security or defence, it should consult the third country via its central authorities, which are already in place for mutual legal assistance purposes in most parts of the world. It should set a deadline for the third country to raise objections to the execution of the European Production Order; in case the third country authorities do not respond within the (extended) deadline
