Summary

The SIRIUS project, co-implemented by Eurojust and Europol, is a central reference point in the EU for knowledge sharing on cross-border access to electronic evidence. It offers a variety of services, such as guidelines, trainings and tools, to help with accessing data held by online service providers.

Outcome:

  • The SIRIUS project, in cooperation with UNODC, UNCTED, CEPOL and the EuroMed Justice and EuroMed Police projects, has developed a set of stand-alone model forms for national authorities seeking to send data preservation and data disclosure requests to service providers via voluntary cooperation.

The SIRIUS platform hosts several products, such as:

  • Guidelines of more than 40 OSPs for data disclosure based on voluntary cooperation and Mutual Legal Assistance
  • IT tools facilitating the structuring and interpretation of electronic data
  • Discussion forums: common and restricted forums for members of the judiciary and law enforcement authorities, including an SPOC network
  • Webinars and training materials for judicial and law enforcement authorities
  • Factsheets on legal concepts and instruments related to electronic evidence
