Abstract

The article discusses various aspects of alternatives in development, such as strengthening the role of the court, of the prosecutor or of the control. The present study states that on the whole the system of legal protection in Finland, including the issuance of permits for telecommunications monitoring and interception by trial courts of the first instance, complies with the European Court of Human Rights and provides for the rights of entities subject to enforcement measures. The study compares the system of legal protection in respect of application of methods of secret interception of the content of telecommunications facilities in Finland with the principles established by the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.
