Personal data which originate in a Member State and are exchanged between Member States following a hit obtained for law enforcement purposes shall not be transferred to third countries if there is a real risk that, as a result of such a transfer, the data subject might be subjected to torture, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment or any other violation of his or her fundamental rights.

3. Personal data which originate in a Member State and are exchanged between a Member State and Europol following a hit obtained for law enforcement purposes shall not be transferred to third countries if there is a real risk that, as a result of such a transfer, the data subject might be subjected to torture, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment or any other violation of his or her fundamental rights. In addition, any transfers shall only be carried out when they are necessary and proportionate in cases falling within Europol’s mandate, in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EC) 2016/794Europol Regulation and subject to the consent of the Member State of origin.

5. The prohibitions set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article shall be without prejudice to the right of Member States to transfer such data in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EU) 2016/679General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or with the national rules adopted pursuant to Chapter V of Directive (EU) 2016/680Law Enforcement Directive (LED), as appropriate, to third countries to which Regulation (EU) 2024/1351Asylum And Migration Management Regulation applies.
