(3) The Union aquis provides for two legal frameworks to set up JITs with the participation of at least two Member States: Council Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA19 and Article 13 of the Convention established by the Council in accordance with Article 34 of the Treaty on European Union on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union20 . The Convention drawn up on the basis of Article K.3 of the Treaty on European Union, on mutual assistance and cooperation between customs administrations20a (Naples II Convention) is also covered by this Regulation. Third countries can be involved in JITs as parties where there is a legal basis for such involvement, such as Article 20 of the Second Additional Protocol of the 1959 Council of Europe Convention21 and Article 5 of the Agreement on Mutual Legal Assistance between the European Union and the United States of America22 . _________________ 19 Council Framework Decision 2002/465/JHA of 13 June 2002 on joint investigation teams (OJ L 162, 20.6.2002, p. 1). 20 OJ C 197, 12.7.2000, p. 3. 20a OJ C 24, 23.1.1998, p. 2. 21 CET No 182 22 OJ L 181, 19.7.2003, p. 34.

(13) From a technical perspective, the JITs collaboration platform should be accessible via a secure connection over the internet and should be composed of a centralised information system, accessible through a web portal, communication software for mobile and desktop devices that includes a machine translation functionality for the working languages of the institutions of the Union, and a connection between the centralised information system and relevant IT tools, supporting the functioning of JITs and managed by the JIT Secretariat.

Recital 19
(19) When designing the JITs collaboration platform, eu-LISA should ensure technical interoperability with SIENAIn order to ensure the widest possible participation of the relevant actors in the Union and to avoid duplication of the use of data in different systems, eu-LISA should establish the necessary technical standards when designing the JITs collaboration platform, for which Europol should ensure that SIENA complies with those technical standards and is able to establish secure channels to interact with the envisaged platform. This interaction should respect the foreseen access rights and data classification rules established for the two systems. The Commission should ensure that the legislative financial statement annexed to the proposal for this Regulation reflects the budgetary impact of this requirement on both agencies.

(36) The Commission should determine the date of the start of operations of the JITs collaboration platform once it is satisfied that the technical requirements as adopted in the relevant implementing acts necessary for the technical development of the JITs collaboration platform have been adopimplemented and eu- LISA has carried out a comprehensive testrial period of the JITs collaboration platform, in cooperation with the Member States. Upon the adoption of this Regulation, eu- LISA shall immediately start its activities regarding the design and implementation of the JITs collaboration platform with a view to render the project operational as soon as possible, and not later than 1 January 2025, including by making use of tailored and customised off-the-shelf products. Acknowledging that this puts a strain on eu-LISA’s operations, the Commission should ensure that the budgetary impact related to a shorter implementation period than foreseen in the impact assessment requested from eu- LISA is assessed in close cooperation with eu-LISA both from budgetary and human resources point of view and reflected in the legislative financial statement of the proposal for this Regulation prior to the adoption of this Regulation. Furthermore, the legislative financial statement of the proposal for this Regulation should allow eu-LISA to recruit technical staff necessary for the preparation of necessary contracts, organisation of the project, and the technical design of the platform as soon as soon as possible.
