Ket : Information exchange in the European Union (EU) constitutes an essential part of the different policies of the EU. In many policy fields, information sharing is crucial for decision making and does not necessarily include the exchange of personal information.1 However, in certain fields, information exchange contains personal data and therefore affects the rights of individuals. In areas related to law enforcement and judicial cooperation, such as the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), horizontal information sharing, including the exchange of personal data, has become an essential tool in the internal security policy of the EU. The process of European integration and communitarisation has considerably supported the establishment of Union bodies, agencies and information systems in this area.2 Traditional national law enforcement and judicial structures are complemented by horizontal EU arrangements increasingly governed by a network type of governance.3 Personal data are therefore not only exchanged between Member States and with third states, but also between EU bodies. Analysing the information exchange taking place at EU level between the relevant EU actors is therefore a challenging task.
