The designated authorities and Europol should only request access to the EES when they have reasonable grounds to believe that such access will provide information that will substantially assist them in preventing, detecting or investigating terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences.
Dá bhrí sin, níor cheart do na húdaráis ainmnithe agus do Europol rochtain ar ESS a iarraidh ach amháin nuair atá forais réasúnacha ann chun a chreidiúint go bhfaighidh siad faisnéis de thoradh na rochtana sin a chuideoidh go mór leo cion sceimhlitheoireachta nó cion coiriúil tromchúiseach eile a chosc, a bhrath nó a imscrúdú.
