Commentaries: Art. 30

The PTSS may make test connections; in doing so, it may work with the prosecution authorities and the FIS. The tests serve the following purposes in particular:
1. assuring the quality of the data diverted to the PTSS and the prosecution authorities by the persons or entities required to cooperate;
2. verifying the ability of the persons or entities required to cooperate to provide information and conduct surveillance;
3. testing the PTSS processing system;
4. training;
5. generating reference data.
The PTSS may instruct the persons or entities required to cooperate to participate in generating the test data. The PTSS shall draw up a test plan after consulting the persons or entities required to cooperate.
The persons or entities required to cooperate shall provide the PTSS with the required test connections and the required telecommunications services or derived communications services at its request free of charge and permanently. They shall assist the PTSS in making the required test connections that they cannot themselves provide.¹
The prosecution authorities and the FIS may also make test connections at their own expense for the purpose of quality assurance and the training. To this end, they shall submit orders to the PTSS and pay fees.
