answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>Egmont Group members share financial intelligence through a dedicated secure network. Egmont Group membership consists of approximately 147 countries and jurisdictions and is underpinned by the principles of the Egmont Charter to which members are signatories. The service enables secure transmission of messages together with attachments and is email based.</p><p>FIU.Net is a European Union initiative which is available to the National Financial Intelligence Units of all EU Member States. FIU.Net provides a secure method of requesting and sharing financial intelligence between Member States. FIU.Net allows for transmission of messages together with attachments via dedicated secure servers in each jurisdiction. FIU.Net provides UK law enforcement agencies with additional functionality over Egmont secure web, such as anonymised case and data matching.</p><p>The UK’s domestic legislation allows for the exchange of intelligence data with overseas partners. Council Decision 2000/642/JHA provides a gateway for those member states, in the absence of specific domestic gateway legislation, to exchange data lawfully and efficiently. As a signatory to the decision the UK is able to exchange relevant information with countries lacking domestic gateway legislation.</p><p>If we ceased to be bound by the Framework Decision we may lose access to FIU.net. Further, we would no longer benefit from the deadlines for prompt exchange of information provided by the 'Swedish Initiative' (FD 2006/960/JHA) in conjunction with FD 2000/642/JHA.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 22/10/2014 16:45:53 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 23258 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>Council Decision 2007/533/JHA is legislative basis for governing the second generation of the Schengen Information System (SIS II) for the purposes of police and judicial co-operation in criminal matters. <br><br>In line with Article 25(2) of Council Decision 2007/533/JHA, the National Crime Agency has the authority to refuse to validate Article 26 alerts on <br>proportionality grounds where a general instruction has been issued. This means that UK police officers will not arrest people subject to an Article 26 alert where there is a lack of proportionality.<br><br>Concerning Article 34 alerts, under Article 35 the UK authorities are not required actively to ascertain the place of residence or domicile of relevant persons, only to communicate such information. Clearly, if they do not hold such information it cannot be communicated. However, if there is supporting information that justifies activity to ascertain proactively the place of residence or domicile of relevant persons action will be taken by UK authorities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 22/10/2014 16:46:43 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 23260 answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
