The government has approved the submission of amendments to the Agreement between the Parties to the Police Cooperation Convention for Southeast Europe on the Automated Exchange of DNA Data, Dactyloscopic Data and Vehicle Registration Data.

It was signed on 13 September, 2018 in Vienna between Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and Moldova. The amendments are being made because of the infringement procedures launched by the EC in 2019 against Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. According to the EC, by signing the Agreement these countries fall within the competence of the EU. The European Commission also states that the provisions of the document affect its powers to decide whether a given third country, with regard to the EU, is able to provide an adequate level of personal data protection.
