To protect personal data and to exclude systematic searches, the processing of EES data should only take place in specific cases and when it is necessary for the purposes of preventing, detecting or investigating terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences.
Chun sonraí pearsanta a chosaint agus chun cuardaigh chórasacha a chosc, níor cheart sonraí EES a phróiseáil ach i gcásanna ar leith agus nuair is gá chun cionta sceimhlitheoireachta agus cionta coiriúla tromchúiseacha eile a chosc, a bhrath nó a imscrúdú.
