Cooperation between criminal justice authorities and private sector entities, including in particular multinational service providers, is essential to protect society against crime. Such cooperation concerns primarily access by police and prosecution services to data held by service providers for criminal justice purposes, but also the sharing of information and experience.

35 Prosecutors and Law Enforcement representatives from IPROCEEDS and EAP III countries participated in an international meeting. The objective of the event was to enhance the capacity of these countries to engage with the multinational ISPs to gather evidence in criminal investigations.

Additionally, the delegates had the opportunity to discuss the main recommendations of the T-CY Cloud Evidence Group on criminal justice access to electronic evidence in the cloud.
