ADEP (Automation of Data Exchange Processes) is the name of action 2 of the 51h Information Management Strategy (IMS) action list of the Working Party on Information Exchange and Data Protection (DAPIX). Within the project 'ADEP Pilot Implementation and Evaluation by MS' the European Police Records Index System (EPRIS) has been piloted. The pilot led by France has been funded by the European Commission with an amount ofi.5 m illion eu ros for the period from the 1" of July 2017 to 31" of December 2018. In addition to France, Finland, Germany, Ireland and Spai n participated in this pi lot project, as well as Europol'. Three countries were associated as observers: Hungary, Belgium and Austria2 . Business object ofthe pilot According to the project-specific communication strategy (see chapter 3.1), this project is also called 'EPRIS-ADEP'. The scope of EPRIS-ADEP is the automation of presently manual and therefore labour and t ime-consuming processes for identifying whether certain law-enforcement-related data is available in one or several Member States (MS) in order to enable and facilitate the subsequent bilateral or mult ilateral information exchange. The pilot project aimed at creating a technical system for cross checking index databases provided by each participant, containing an extract
