  3. Informal harmonization within the EU • Possibilities • Same it-technigues • Similar legal background • Similar interests • Limited amount of digital data less impact on undertakings’ rights • Limited amount of digital data better to handle • Digital data available at an earlier date • Desirability • Profiting from each others experience • More legal certainty • Expectations • European Commission • Member States

  4. Similarity in legal background between NL, CZ and EU • Sufficiently limited scope of the investigation required (no fishing expedition): • Article 8 ECHR: right to a private and family life • Dutch law provisions: • Power to do a targeted inspection and copy data; • Proportionality principle • Dutch case law • Sufficiently limited scope of the investigation is decisive and not the content of the copied data • When is the scope of the investigation sufficiently limited? • “Within scope” are those data that could reasonably fall within the purpose of the investigation based on their nature or content (not “relevant”) • “Possibly out of scope”-data require a further limitation in scope (in the presence of the undertaking)
