The Czech Republic set up its DNA database in 2001.

The 2008 Interpol survey reports that 4,560 crime scene DNA profiles and 12,786 individuals' profiles, plus 20 missing persons' DNA profiles and 211 unknown/deceased DNA profiles were held in the Czech Republic at the time of the survey. By October 2011, the national DNA database included 77,000 genetic profiles, 64,000 of which related to accused and convicted persons, while 13,000 DNA profiles were from crime scenes.

== Overview ==
The DNA database for Luxembourg was inaugurated by legislation enacted in August of 2006. The database contains DNA profiles of persons convicted of certain specific offences, persons suspected of any recordable offence and crime scene. The DNA profiles of a crime suspects can be entered into the database when they are suspected of any recordable offence. The DNA profiles of convicted offenders can be entered into the database when they are sentenced to imprisonment for one of the crimes listed in the law. DNA profiles which are derived from unidentified crime scene stains can be entered into the database by order of the prosecutor. Convicted persons’ profiles are kept for ten years after their death, suspects’ profiles are deleted upon their acquittal or ten years after their death, and crime scene stains are retained for thirty years after their entry. A 2008 Interpol survey reports that 30 crime scene DNA profiles and 55 individuals' profiles were held in Luxembourg at the time of the survey.

Act LXXXV of 1999 on the Criminal Records and Certificates on Criminal Record.<ref name="ftn1"> E.U. 9445/1/06 at 7.

</ref>,<ref name="ftn2"> The database contains data for individuals who have been suspected of committing any crime belonging to the following crime categories: (1) punishable with five or more years of imprisonment, (2) related to international criminal activity, (3) sexual assault with violence, (4) against juveniles, (5) committed in series or in organized form, (6) related to drugs or substances qualifying as drugs, (7) related to money or securities forgery, (8) committed with arms, (9) crimes against the nation, terrorism, violation of international legal liabilities, abuse of nuclear energy, money laundering, crimes committed at service forces and preparation for terrorist activity. The database contains data for crime scene stains.

</ref>

Persons convicted of one of the crime categories which are listed in law, suspects charged with an offence that could lead to a prison sentence of 5 years or more or that is listed in law, and all crime scene stains<ref name="ftn3"> See EU Current Practices at 56-57.

</ref>

DNA profiles of crime suspects are retained when they are possibly involved in a crime which could result in a prison sentence of at least five years or when they are possibly involved in one of the offences which are listed in the law (e.g., offences related to international criminal activity, violent offences against sexual morals, offences committed against children under fourteen years old, offences committed in series or organized form, etc.). The DNA profiles of convicted offenders are retained upon conviction for one of the above mentioned crime categories. There are no restrictions to the entry of DNA profiles which are derived from unidentified crime scene stains.

A DNA sample can be taken from crime suspects, convicted offenders, minors and mentally ill persons. There are no restrictions to the collection of unidentified crime scene stains.

Convicted persons’ profiles are kept until twenty years after conviction, suspects’ profiles are retained until the underlying proceeding is abandoned or the individual is acquitted, and crime scene stains are deleted at the time proscribed by law<ref name="ftn4"> See EU Current Practices at 57.

</ref>

DNA profiles which are derived from unidentified crime scene stains are removed from the database when the prescription term for the related crime is reached. DNA profiles of crime suspects must be removed upon abandonment of the proceedings or upon acquittal. Convicted offenders’ DNA profiles must be removed twenty years after the passing of the sentence.

Convicted persons samples must be destroyed twenty years after their conviction and suspects’ samples must be destroyed upon their acquittal or abandonment of the underlying investigation or proceeding<ref name="ftn5"> See EU Current Practices at 57.

==Detailed analysis==

'''I. Law on Point'''

For the provision and examination of DNA samples: §§ 81a, 81e, 81f and 81g Rules of Legal Procedure (Strafprozessordnung); § 3 DNA-Identitätsfeststellungsgesetz (“act for the establishment of identity”).

For the maintenance of the database: § 3 Identitätsfeststellungsgesetz and §§ 2, 7 and 8 Bundeskriminalamtgesetz (act for the Federal Criminal Investigation Office)

Content of the German DNA-database: DNA-identification codes of known perpetrators and “latents” (samples secured as evidence at scenes of crimes).<ref name="ftn1"> E.U. 9445/1/06 at 6.

</ref>

'''II. Entry Criteria'''

Persons convicted of a serious offence or repeatedly committing the same minor offence, suspects charged of a serious offence, and crime scene stains when related to any recordable offence<ref name="ftn2"> See EU Current Practices at 52.

</ref>

The German forensic DNA database is governed by the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA). The DNA profiles that are derived from unidentified crime scene stains can be entered into the database if they are possibly related to any recordable offence.<ref name="ftn3"> Id.

</ref> Crime suspects’ DNA profiles can only be entered into the database when they are possibly involved in a serious criminal offence or when they are suspected to commit a serious offence in the future.<ref name="ftn4"> Errichtungsordnung DNA Analyse Datei, Art. 2.2, §3a to b.

</ref><nowiki> Entry of the profiles of convicted offenders is allowed when they are irrevocably sentenced for a serious criminal offence. Since 2005, DNA profiles of offenders who are sentenced for repeatedly committing the same ‘minor offence’ can also be entered into the database. The DNA profiles of individuals who are not irrevocably sentenced due to irresponsibility and whose files are not removed from the Bundeszentralregister [federal central register] or the Erziehungsregister [register of upbringing], can also be entered into the DNA database.</nowiki><ref name="ftn5"> Id. at Art. 2.2, § 3c.

</ref>

'''III. Sample Collection'''

The German Criminal Procedure Code (Strafprozeßordnung) allows for the taking of blood samples and other biological material from crime suspects without their consent when this act is considered necessary for the investigation. The authority to start such procedure is vested in a judge. If this procedure could possibly lead to a delay that could endanger the success of the investigation, the public prosecution office may also order such a procedure. For all other situations, consent of the suspect is necessary.<ref name="ftn6"> Code of Criminal Procedure, § 81a: 1-3.

</ref> Consent is usually needed in order to take a DNA sample from a convicted offender. Coercive sampling can only be ordered by a judge and only when it concerns an individual who is convicted for a sexual offence or another serious offence and when it is very likely that the convicted person will commit a similar offence in the future. Individuals who repeatedly commit the same minor offence will be treated as if they have committed a serious offence.<ref name="ftn7"> Id., § 81g: 1.

</ref>

The taking of a sample from third persons such as witnesses without their consent is only admissible if this measure is considered indispensable for establishing the truth. Again, this procedure can only be started by courtesy of a judge or, on the above described conditions, by the public prosecution office. Although this may be refused for the same reasons as a testimony may be refused, the judge can allow the use of direct force in order to gather a sample. This can only be done when the individual insists on the refusal despite the imposition of a coercive fine or when there are exigent circumstances.<ref name="ftn8"> Id., §81c: 1-6.

</ref> A DNA sample may be taken from minors (14-17 years), but normally only upon their legal guardians’ consent. A DNA sample may be taken from a mentally ill person if it is very likely that this person will commit a similar offence in the future.<ref name="ftn9"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

'''IV. Removal Criteria'''

Convicted persons’ and suspects profiles are removed when their retention is no longer necessary and crime scene stains must be deleted after 30 years of their entry<ref name="ftn10"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

Unidentified DNA profiles must be removed from the database at the latest after thirty years, but most of the crime scene stains are removed after ten years. Only a few will be never removed, or only when the related crime is solved (e.g. murder, genocide). Regarding the DNA profiles of convicted offenders, the law stipulates a certain period after which shall be decided whether the profiles shall be removed from the database or not. This period is five years for minors and ten years for adults. Counting starts the moment the sentence has passed. The DNA profiles of crime suspects are removed from the database when retaining them seems no longer necessary or deemed inappropriate. This is the case when the suspect is acquitted, the case is dismissed, prosecution is aborted or when it is believed that the person will not commit a serious offence in the future.<ref name="ftn11"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

'''V. Sample Retention'''

Convicted persons’ and suspects’ samples must be destroyed when they are no longer considered useful for investigatory purposes<ref name="ftn12"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

Only unidentified DNA samples can be retained for further purposes (e.g. follow-up analysis). If they are no longer necessary for the criminal proceeding, DNA-samples of known persons must be destroyed immediately after analysis.<ref name="ftn13"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

'''VI. Database Access'''

Officials of the BKA and the Central Investigation offices of the sixteen Federal States have direct access to the database. Public prosecution services can also be provided with data from the database for criminal justice purposes. Authorized persons have access rights to all the data contained in the database: police service concerned and its reference number, criminal offence, laboratory charged with the examination and its reference number, formula for making the data anonymous and unique identification number of the data set, personal data of known individuals and identification number of the data recorded. DNA profiles can be exchanged with the other EU Member States through Interpol. As Germany has signed and ratified the Convention of Prüm, it has automatic access to the database of its contracting partners.<ref name="ftn14"> See EU Current Practices at 53.

</ref>

BS 2000 is currently used. Adjustment to Oracle-data base is planned.

Estonia set up its DNA database in 2004. Estonian law provides that upon suspicion or conviction of any recordable offense a person’s DNA profile is to be entered into the national DNA database. The Estonian police are empowered to forcibly take DNA samples from persons suspected or convicted of any offense, including minors. Convicted persons’ and suspect’s profiles are kept for ten years after their death and crime scene stains are kept for seventy-five years after they are entered. Estonian law is silent on the question of the retention or destruction of DNA samples. In the absence of legal guidance, the samples are customarily retained. The 2008 Interpol survey reports that 8,000 crime scene DNA profiles and 23,500 individuals' profiles, plus 15 missing persons' DNA profiles and 35 unknown/deceased DNA profiles were held in Estonia at the time of the survey.

== Overview ==
The Cypriot national DNA database contains the genetic profiles of all convicts, suspects, and unidentified crime scene stains. The police must obtain a court order to coercively collect a DNA sample from a suspect. Convicted persons’ profiles are kept indefinitely unless their record is subsequently expunged. Suspects’ profiles are removed when they are acquitted or otherwise cleared of all charges, and crime scene stains are kept until they are identified. DNA samples are retained indefinitely in the case of convicts; Suspects’ profiles, however, are destroyed when they are acquitted or otherwise cleared of all charges.

Cyprus set up a DNA database in 1998. DNA database legislation is planned. The 2008 Interpol survey reports that 1,300 crime scene DNA profiles and 520 individuals' profiles, plus 1,590 missing persons' DNA profiles and 5 unknown/deceased DNA profiles were held in Cyprus at the time of the survey.

In Sri Lanka, Genetech, a private company which supplies DNA profiles to the police, has set up a DNA bank. It reportedly contained DNA profiles of nearly 3,000 criminals by October 2011. To date, all forensic DNA testing has been conducted by private companies but a new Government laboratory has been set up with US Government funding and Government DNA testing will start in 2014.

Use of DNA evidence in Sri Lanka is governed by Section 45 of the Evidence Ordinance and Section 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure as amended by Section 14 of 2005. There is no specific legislation or regulation of DNA databases.
