It outlines the domestic legal framework regarding data retention, interception of communications and access to stored data. It then considers the law governing cross-border requests for data. It assesses the extent to which these rules are adequate for law enforcement purposes and whether these rules are compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and data protection standards.enThis material has been published in Franssen, V. & Tosza, S.
