“Questionnaire for EU Member States’ judicial authorities
on legality and conditions for transmission of information from criminal investigations to authorities responsible for administrative (competition law) enforcement”
Introduction
This questionnaire was developed under the “Single Market Programme” (SMP-DGCOMP-2023-NCNE-IBA), implemented by the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN) with financial support from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition (DG COMP).
Targeted at judicial and law enforcement professionals handling financial and economic crime investigations, the project aims to improve the detection and prosecution of anti-competitive infringements across the EU. It seeks to enhance the role of professionals who, while not directly responsible for competition enforcement, can support competition enforcement authorities at both European and national levels by sharing relevant information.
The questionnaire aims to assess the legal basis and conditions in each EU Member State for the transmission of information obtained in criminal investigations to be used as leads or evidence by European Commission or National Competition Authorities of the Member States for the purpose of detecting and prosecuting breaches of competition law.
Questionnaire
1. Which country's legal framework are you reporting on in this survey?
2. Which institution do you represent? Please provide the title and email address of your institution.
3. Does your jurisdiction have laws or regulations that define the legal basis and conditions for transmitting information from a criminal investigation for the detection and prosecution of an administrative infringement, such as a competition law infringement?
• YES/NO.
4. If yes, please specify the law(s) and/or regulation(s) governing the transmission of information and provide the relevant text (for example, articles of the Criminal Code, Criminal Procedure Act, Commercial Act or Competition Act).

• ACT (official title, in the local language, and English if available):
• ARTICLE (include identifier or numbering and text of the article in the local language, and English if available):

• TITLE (official title, in the local language, and English if available):
• Please provide a document or a link to the decision, and underscore any relevant sections of the case law.
6. Based on your responses above, can information obtained in criminal investigations in your jurisdiction be transmitted to authorities responsible for enforcing competition law breaches? Please select the one that best fits your national system.
• Transmission of information is authorised / can be inferred from national rules in most circumstances.
• Transmission of information is authorised / can be inferred from national rules, but only under limited circumstances.
• Transmission of information is expressly prohibited or prohibited by inference from national rules in all circumstances.
• National rules are silent on whether such transmission is prohibited or permissible.

• Criminal investigation bodies belonging to the national police or similar institutions
• Public Prosecutors
• Judicial authorities / investigative judges

9. What types of information can be shared? Are there any restrictions on the information that can be shared?
For example, are there limitations based on certain categories of communication (privileged communication), or means of interception, (e.g. phone tapping or digital surveillance)?
Please specify.
10. Should any specific procedures be followed for the transmission of information?
For example, can information be shared at the initiative of the criminal investigator, or is formal request needed from the national competition authority?
Please specify.
11. Please provide the appropriate references to any relevant documentation such a guidelines, administrative directive or training material concerning the process to be followed for information transmission between entities in charge of criminal investigations and prosecution, one the one hand, and competition authorities/administrative bodies, on the other hand.

Dear Liis-Greete,
Finally, I wanted to ask if you have had a chance to review the questionnaire which was shared with all of the EJTN Members - you can find it here or in attachment. The questionnaire aims to assess the national legal basis and conditions (in Estonia) for sharing information between public prosecutors, on the one hand, and competition authorities, on the other. Perhaps you might be able to nominate someone who could review and complete the questionnaire.

Tähelepanu! Tegemist on välisvõrgust saabunud kirjaga. |
Dear Marianne,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am contacting you regarding a training opportunity at EJTN for public prosecutors involved in financial and economic crime investigations (tax evasion, fraud, corruption, etc).
As you know, we are implementing a project titled “Single Market Programme” with financial support from the European Commission-DG Competition.
In the context of the project, we are organising training sessions and study visits on EU Competition Enforcement in Brussels from May to June 2025.
The call was launched at the start of the year, but we have yet to receive applications from Estonia.
I was hoping you could help us share the call with individuals who may fit the profile.
Additionally, we are required to contact police offices in Estonia. We disseminated the call via CEPOL channels - however, if you could share a direct contact at the central law enforcement training agency, I would be grateful.
Objective
The events aim to raise awareness among prosecutors and police officers about competition law enforcement. While financial and economic crime investigators are not enforcing competition law, they may encounter valuable information in the course of their investigations —company communications, financial transactions, or business practices — that could lead to the detection of anti-competitive behaviour. They can support competition law enforcement by alerting competition authorities to potential abuses and contributing information that may trigger competition infringement proceedings. Its an important initiative for the EU Commission and we are really hoping to improve representation from Estonia.
Application
Candidates can contact me directly to express interest by submitting the registration form in attachment.
You dont need to register them on the EJTN platform - we will do this.
The application deadline for events held in May is 28 April and events held in June - 26 May.
Financial Conditions
The project covers participants' expenses in line with the EJTN-SMP Financial Policy (attached).
It differs from the standard EJTN financial conditions.
Participants receive a fixed sum based on the location of their office and event venue - between 629 and 710 EUR, depending on their office location.
Participants are NOT required to submit a reimbursement request - their payment is processed automatically after the event.
No proof of actual expenses is required—boarding passes, invoices, and receipts do not need to be submitted.
Flight Options
We checked some of the flight and accommodation options. I would recommend that the participants apply for the sessions on 16-17 june, which should be within budget. Here is one option - Travel: Tallinn-Brussels 15-17 June- Hotel: ibis Styles Hotel Brussels Centre Stéphanie
Attachments
Please find in attachment further details about the project, including:
- EJTN-SMP Call for Participation
- Event Programmes for the 3 Training Sessions and 1 Study Visit
- EJTN-SMP Financial Policy
- Registration Form
Thank you for your support!
Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: Call for participants - EJTN DGCOMP training events 2025 - for the attention of financial and economic crime investigators (public prosecutors, law enforcement officers, investigative judges)
Dear EJTN Members,
I hope this email finds you well.
EJTN is launching the final call for training sessions and study visits on EU Competition Enforcement for financial and economic crime investigators (law enforcement officers, public prosecutors and investigative judges, and their associates/advisors) under the Single Market Programme / DG Competition Project.
As we approach the conclusion of this initiative, we would greatly appreciate your support in making it a success. Further outreach is needed to engage a more geographically diverse audience across all EU Member States, as some Members remain significantly underrepresented. Additionally, we seek to increase participation from law enforcement officers.
Please find here the list of training events, as well as the call for participants, event programmes, and financial conditions (attached).
