For the years 2019 and 2020- all Monthly Reports on the Composition and deployment of equipment from the Technical Equipment Pool. Please note that from these documents I am only interested in the section/chapter "Composition of the Technical Equipment Pool in [Month Year]".Could I also please ask you to clarify, for each extract, the month it corresponds to, eg. March 2019? Please find the document herewith attached, with redactions pertaining to technical equipment deployed in the operational area. Disclosing such information would be tantamount to disclosing the exact type and capabilities of the equipment and permit conclusions regarding its usual position. This would open way for abuse, as numbers and types of equipment used in previous operations are indicative of similar numbers and types for succeeding years. Releasing such information would thus benefit terrorist organisations and criminal networks, enabling them to change their modus operandi and consequently result in hampering the course of ongoing and future similar operations. This would ultimately obstruct the purpose of such operations: to counter and prevent cross-border crime and unauthorised border crossings. In this light, the disclosure of information regarding the technical equipment deployed would undermine the protection of the public interest as regards public security in the sense of Article 4(1)(a) first indent of Regulation (EC) No 1049/20011.
