Pakiet o dowodach elektronicznych. Nierozwiązane problemy oraz wyzwania związane z jego zastosowaniem
Streszczenie w języku polskim
W dniu 12 lipca 2023 r. Unia Europejska przyjęła po pięciu długich latach negocjacji pakiet dotyczący dowodów elektronicznych. Pakiet ten wprowadza nowy model wzajemnego uznawania w celu zapewnienia transgranicznego dostępu do danych na potrzeby postępowania karnego. Ten nowy model ma zapewnić skuteczniejszy sposób pozyskiwania danych od usługodawców działających na terenie Unii Europejskiej, lecz zlokalizowanych poza granicami państwa prowadzącego postępowanie. Będzie to miało miejsce poprzez umożliwienie bezpośredniego żądania danych od usługodawców z pominięciem organów w państwach członkowskich, w których ustawodawca jest zlokalizowany. Usługodawcy będą zobowiązani do wyznaczenia co najmniej jednego zakładu lub przedstawiciela uprawnionego do przyjmowania nakazów wydania dowodów elektronicznych oraz sprawnego reagowania na te nakazy. Chociaż przyjęcie pakietu w sprawie dowodów elektronicznych stanowi niewątpliwie ważny krok na drodze do rozwiązania problemu dostępu do danych na potrzeby postępowania karnego, jego skuteczność i praktyczne zastosowanie zależą od kilku zasadniczych zagadnień, które pakiet pozostawia w gestii państw członkowskich lub w ogóle pomija, a także od osiągnięcia porozumienia ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi w ramach tzw. CLOUD Act. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie obecnej sytuacji prawnej dotyczącej transgranicznego dostępu do dowodów elektronicznych, przeanalizowanie owych nierozwiązanych zagadnień oraz ocenę ich wpływu na ostateczny kształt systemu dostępu do dowodów elektronicznych w ramach Unii Europejskiej.
