Recital 77
(77) FIUs should use secure facilities, including protected channels of communication, to cooperate and exchange information amongst each other. In this respect, a system for the exchange of information between FIUs of Member States (FIU.net) should be set up. The system should be managed and hosted by AMLA and should provide for the highest level of security and the full encryption of the information exchanged. FIU.net should be used by FIUs to cooperate and exchange information amongst each other and could also be used, where appropriate and subject to a decision by AMLA, to exchange information with FIUs of third countries and with other authorities and Union bodies, offices and agencies. The functionalities of the FIU.net should be used by FIUs to their full potential. Those functionalities should allow FIUs to match their data with data of other FIUs in a pseudonymous manner, with the aim of detecting subjects of the FIU’s interests in other Member States and identifying their proceeds and funds, whilst ensuring full protection of personal data. In order to identify links between financial information and criminal intelligence, FIUs should also be able to use the functionalities of FIU.net to pseudonymously cross-match their data with information held by Union bodies, offices and agencies insofar as such cross-matching falls within the latter’s respective legal mandates and in full respect of the applicable data protection rules.
