Abstract
The European Union will launch its own European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) by 2013. A related feasibility study carried out for the European Commission reveals that next to operational considerations strong data protection safeguards constitute one of the main factors for having the centre hosted at the European Police Office (Europol) ( http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_reports/TR1218.html , in particular, p. 2, 86, 88, 90, 149 and 154, accessed on 26/04/12). This article highlights how far Europol’s robust data protection regime contributes to effectively fighting cybercrime while duly observing fundamental rights including the right for protection of personal data.
