³ The FIS shall al­ways dis­close data from in­form­a­tion gath­er­ing meas­ures re­quir­ing au­thor­isa­tion to a pro­sec­u­tion au­thor­ity if it con­tains spe­cif­ic evid­ence of an of­fence in con­nec­tion with the pro­sec­u­tion of which the pro­sec­u­tion au­thor­ity would have been en­titled to or­der a com­par­able crim­in­al pro­ced­ur­al meas­ure.

⁴ The FIS shall ad­vise the pro­sec­u­tion au­thor­it­ies of the ori­gin of the data. The sub­sequent pro­ced­ure is gov­erned by the Crim­PC²³ or the Mil­it­ary Crim­in­al Pro­ced­ure Code of 23 March 1979²⁴.
