(42) In particular, access to data stored in ETIAS for the purpose of preventing, detecting or investigating terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences should only be granted following a reasoned request by the operating unit of a designated authority explaining its necessity. In cases of urgency, where there is a need to prevent an imminent danger to the life of a person associated with a terrorist offence or another serious criminal offence, the verification of whether the conditions were fulfilled should take place after access to such data has been granted to the designated competent authorities. This ex post verification should take place without undue delay and in any event no later than seven working days after the processing of the request.
