regarding the protection of personal data and therefore has to be precluded pursuant to Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001; -    Detailed information on the means of communication used by law enforcement officials. The disclosure of this information would put law enforcement officials’ work in jeopardy and harm the course of future and ongoing operations aimed at curtailing the activities of organized criminal networks involved in the smuggling and migrants and trafficking in human beings. As the disclosure of such pieces of information would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards public security, it must therefore be refused as laid down in Article 4(1)(a) first indent of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001; -    Detailed information regarding the modus operandi of law enforcement officials performing return and return-related activities. Disclosing such information would expose the working methods used in ongoing and future operations, putting at risk the efforts made by the European Union and its Member States to return third-country nationals who are subject to national return decisions. This would endanger the public order as well as Member States’ security and, concretely, jeopardize the orderly conduct of return flights as well pose a hazard to the safety of aircraft, passengers and crew. In this light, the disclosure of such information would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards public security as laid down in Article 4(1)(a) first indent of Regulation (EC) No 1049/20011 and therefore must be refused; -    Detailed information related to reporting tools and methods used by law enforcement officials to conduct border control tasks and counter criminal activities. Its disclosure would jeopardize the implementation of ongoing and future operations, and thus facilitate irregular migration and trafficking in human beings as the effectiveness of law enforcement measures would be significantly reduced. As disclosing this information would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards public security, this part is not disclosed pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) first indent of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001.
