Means of communication
The relevant non-disclosed parts contain information on the means of communication used by law enforcement
officers within the operation. Its disclosure could lead to possible abusive usage with a view to jeopardize their work
and harm the course of future and ongoing operations, ultimately obstructing their purpose to counter and prevent
cross-border crime as well as prevent unauthorized border crossings. In light of the above, the text is not disclosed
pursuant to the exception in the first indent of Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 relating to the
protection of the public interest as regards public security.
Modus operandi of law enforcement
The non-disclosed parts contain detailed information regarding the modus operandi of law enforcement officials when
performing border control. Disclosing such information would expose the working methods applied in ongoing and
future operations, thus obstructing them and the efforts made by the EU and its Member States to counter and prevent
cross-border crime and unauthorized border crossings. If this were to happen, public security would be affected. In
light of the above, the text is not disclosed pursuant to the exception laid down in the first indent of Article 4(1)(a)
of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 relating to the protection of the public interest as regards public security.
Personal data
The relevant non-disclosed parts contain personal data, in particular the name of an individual. Its disclosure would
affect the privacy and integrity of the individual and is therefore precluded pursuant to the exception laid down in
Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
