Recital 19

(19) To ensure the security of the information shared between asset recovery offices, all asset recovery offices should be able to directly access the Secure Information Exchange Network Application (SIENA), managed by Europol in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/794 of the European Parliament and of the Council (14). SIENA or, where necessary on an exceptional basis, other secure channels should be used for all communication between asset recovery offices under this Directive. It might be necessary to use another secure channel in exceptional cases, for instance where the urgency of the request for information requires the temporary use of another communication channel or where the exchange of information requires the involvement of third countries or international organisations or there are objective reasons to believe that such involvement will be required at a later stage. The reference to SIENA should be read as applying also to its successor, in the event that SIENA is replaced.
