SIRIUS

More than half of all criminal investigations today include a cross-border request to access electronic evidence held by Service Providers (SPs). This may include the contents of texts, emails or messaging apps, or data identifying the particular user of a service and his or her location. In a rapidly changing online environment, investigators and prosecutors need support to cope with the complexity and volume of information and to develop their knowledge when obtaining electronic data from SPs based in other jurisdictions.The SIRIUS project, co-implemented by Eurojust and Europol, is a central reference point in the EU for knowledge sharing on cross-border access to electronic evidence. It offers a variety of services, such as guidelines, trainings and tools, to help with accessing data held by SPs. These services are available to law enforcement and judicial authorities via a platform and an application. To this day, SIRIUS serves a community of competent authorities from 47 countries, representing all EU Member States and a growing number of third countries, as well as the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO).The SIRIUS Project has received funding from the European Commission's Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) under contribution agreement No PI/2020/417-500.

Electronic evidence

Over half of all criminal investigations today include a request for cross-border access to electronic evidence such as texts, e-mails or messages in apps. However, gaining access to electronic evidence presents significant legal and technical challenges. For instance, evidence may be stored in an unknown location, servers can be spread across different countries, and there are no harmonised deadlines for how long service providers have to preserve data or reply to legal requests. In this context, gaining access becomes a cumbersome process delaying justice. New EU LegislationIn August 2026, new rules are coming into effect in the EU that will change the way judicial authorities can access electronic evidence. Known as the EU e-evidence package, the new legislation makes is much easier and faster for law enforcement and judicial authorities to obtain the electronic evidence they need to investigate and eventually prosecute criminals.Two new judicial cooperation instruments are introduced: European Production Order: Enables judicial authorities in one Member State to directly compel a service provider in another Member State – via its designated contact point (“addressee”) – to produce electronic evidence within 10 days or 8 hours in emergency cases.European Preservation Order: Enables judicial authorities to request preservation of electronic evidence for 60 days to ensure it remains available for later access.The new rules include strong safeguards, guaranteeing the protection of fundamental rights, including for protection of personal data. The persons whose data is being sought are also entitled to legal remedies. Eurojust SupportEurojust will support national authorities in using European Production and Preservation Orders, including:Advise on the applicable legal framework and the feasibility of requestsCoordinate simultaneous judicial cooperation requests, avoiding conflicts of jurisdictionFacilitate the issuance, transmission, execution and enforcement of ordersAssist with drafting and wording of certificatesFacilitate discussions between issuing and enforcing authoritiesAdvise on privileges and immunities / freedom of the press and freedom of expressionSIRIUS Project The SIRIUS project, launched in October 2017 is a project co-implemented by Eurojust and Europol and funded by the European Commission’s Service for Foreign Policy Instruments. Working closely with service providers, SIRIUS provides knowledge products and expertise to help investigators and prosecutors access cross-border electronic evidence.
