This paper presents a study of the 5-year operation (2011-2015) of the transnational exchange of forensic DNA data between Member States of the European Union (EU) for the purpose of combating cross-border crime and terrorism within the so-called Prüm system. This first systematisation of the full official statistical dataset provides an overall assessment of the match figures and patterns of operation of the Prüm system for DNA exchange. These figures and patterns are analysed in terms of the differentiated contributions by participating EU Member States. The data suggest a trend for West and Central European countries to concentrate the majority of Prüm matches, while DNA databases of Eastern European countries tend to contribute with profiles of people that match stains in other countries. In view of the necessary transparency and accountability of the Prüm system, more extensive and informative statistics would be an important contribution to the assessment of its functioning and societal benefits.
本文介绍了一项关于2011年至2015年期间欧盟成员国之间为打击所谓的普吕姆系统内的跨境犯罪和恐怖主义而进行的法医DNA数据跨国交换的5年运作情况的研究。对完整官方统计数据集的首次系统化整理，全面评估了普吕姆DNA交换系统的匹配数据及运作模式。根据参与的欧盟成员国的不同贡献，对这些数据及模式进行了分析。数据显示，西欧和中欧国家集中了大部分普吕姆匹配案例，而东欧国家的DNA数据库则倾向于提供与其他国家污渍匹配的人员档案。鉴于普吕姆系统必要的透明度和问责制，更广泛且信息丰富的统计数据将对评估其运作及社会效益做出重要贡献。
