ensure that it is possible to verify and establish to which bodies personal data may be transmitted using data communication equipment (communication control);

5. In cases where the data requested by end-users other than appropriate regional fisheries management organisations to which the Community is contracting party or observer and relevant international scientific bodies are different from those already provided to appropriate regional fisheries management organisations to which the Community is contracting party or observer and relevant international scientific bodies, Member States may charge those end-users the actual costs of extraction and, if required, aggregation of the data before their transmission.

The draft decision is based on three acts adopted by the Council in 1998 and 1999 which laid down the rules governing Europol's external relations with third States and non-EU related bodies, concerning the receipt of information by Europol from third parties and rules governing the transmission of personal data by Europol to third States and third bodies.

In December 2001 the Council adopted a decision authorising the director of Europol to enter into negotiations with third countries and bodies not linked to the European Union and amended the Act of 12 Mar 1999 on rules for the transmission of personal data by Europol to third countries and outside bodies.

Moreover, the Council has already agreed the four texts establishing the rules concerning the receipt of information by Europol from third parties, the transmission of personal data by Europol to third States and third bodies, the external relations between Europol and third States and bodies not linked to the EU as well as the external relations of Europol with bodies linked to the EU.
