S.L. 164.2 Art. 3Exchange of information or intelligence with other state agencies.

(1) Without prejudice to any other provision under the Act or the Data Protection Regulations, the Police shall exchange information or intelligence already available to it with other state agencies of other Member States having similar powers as if these state agencies were established in Malta.

(2) Where the information or intelligence may, under any relevant provision of Maltese law, be accessed by the Police only pursuant to an agreement or authorisation of a judicial authority, the Police shall refrain from communicating the information or intelligence to the state agencies of other Member States having similar powers, unless the Attorney General agrees or authorises the communication of such information or intelligence. Such agreement or authorisation shall always be sought whenever the requesting agency requests access to information or intelligence related to any inquiry relating to the "in genere", or any inquest or "repertus" or whenever the information or intelligence is required for use as evidence.
