Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files
Lyon, May 15th, 2007
Our ref.: CCF/
Subject: Your request of December 20th, 2006
Dear Sir,
We follow up your last correspondences putting forward information concerning you, held by the National
Central Office of Interpol in the United States, which concerned the conviction pronounced against you in
first instance in France in 1983, before your exoneration in appeal in 1985 by the Court of Grenoble.
The Commission wishes to inform you that its competence is limited to the files of the Secretariat-general
of Interpol. It does not extend to the national files. To exert your right of access to the national files, you
must thus contact the proper national authorities.
Nevertheless, the Commission drew the attention of the National Central Bureau of Interpol in the United
States to the necessary respect of the principle of exactitude of information, and consequently, to the duty
of diligence/ordinary care which any entity in charge owes in connection with the treatment of information
in personal matter, in this case through the channel of Interpol. It stressed that under the terms of this
duty, as soon as a doubt is raised as for the exactitude of recorded data, it is within the responsibility of
National Central Bureau to undertake any proper step, in particular to check with the source of the
aforementioned information, to ensure itself of its accuracy and its relevance.
The elements that you communicate to us blaming the data processing concerning you through the
channel of the National Central Bureaus of Interpol, the commission in addition transmitted a copy of your
request to the Office of the Legal Affairs of the Secretariat-general of Interpol, by stressing that the
attention of the National Central Bureau of Interpol in France should also be drawn to this question of the
accuracy and the actualization of the data.
Sincerely yours.
Signature
The Secretary of the Commission for the Control of Interpol’s Files
Marc Campus
