Draft directive
Recital 8

The financial costs relating to the issuing of the European protection order should not be imposed on the protected person.

Recital 10
(10) Where appropriate, it should be possible to use electronic means with a view to putting into practice the measures adopted in application of this Directive, in accordance with national laws and procedures. This should not pave the way for the creation of a database of all protected persons in the European Union, as this would render them even more vulnerable in light of cyber criminality.
