If national judicial authority estimates, for well-founded reasons, that information in relation to criminal offences obtained during the performance of its competences could be required in the implementation of pre-trial criminal or criminal proceedings or could represent the basis for a request for legal assistance, it may forward such information to, or receive it from, the competent authorities of another Member State without prior request. If the authority, when communicating information, set any conditions for its use, such conditions shall be binding on the authority receiving such information.
