SECOND SECTION

Application no. 43529/13 X against the Republic of Moldova lodged on 27 June 2013

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the retention in a database of information about the applicant’s past criminal conviction and mentioning it in the standard certificate concerning the presence or absence of a criminal record.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Do the facts of the case disclose a violation of Article 8 of the Convention? In particular, did the Moldovan law provide, at the time of the events, sufficient safeguards for retention and disclosure of criminal record data (see M.M. v. the United Kingdom , no. 24029/07, §§ 187-207, 13 November 2012)?
