THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1), and in particular Articles 8(4), 9(1) and 20(3), point (a) of Article 22 and Articles 36(4) and 37(7) thereof, and Council Decision 2007/533/JHA of 12 June 2007 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (2), and in particular Articles 8(4), 9(1) and 20(4), point (a) of Article 22 and Articles 51(4) and 52(7) thereof,
Having consulted the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) |
The second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) will enter into operation in the first half of 2013. It will only contain the indispensable information allowing the identification of a person or an object and the necessary action to be taken. In addition, for SIS II to function properly, Member States will exchange supplementary information related to the alerts. This exchange of supplementary information is carried out by the Sirene Bureaux. |
(2) |
To facilitate the work of the Sirene Bureaux and of users of SIS II involved in Sirene operations in their daily work, a Sirene Manual for SIS II was adopted in 2008 through a former first pillar legal instrument, Commission Decision 2008/333/EC (3), as well as a former third pillar instrument, Commission Decision 2008/334/JHA (4). |
(3) |
Amendments to the Sirene Manual for SIS II are required now in order to better reflect the operational needs of users and staff involved in Sirene operations, to improve consistency of working procedures and to ensure that technical rules correspond to the state of the art. |
(4) |
Member States have developed diverging rules about authorities having access to SIS II empowered to create, update or delete alerts. Furthermore, many Member States have integrated offices for international police cooperation including Europol, Interpol and Sirene matters in which staff carry out all necessary operations. It is therefore appropriate to extend the scope of the Sirene Manual to all users of SIS II and to all staff involved in Sirene operations. |
(5) |
The provisions of the Sirene Manual need to be revised in order to reflect, inter alia, new technical capabilities for carrying out searches in SIS II; an updated description of the technical means of communication between Sirene Bureaux; clarification on procedures for alerts for refusal of entry; clarified procedures on management of SIS II alerts including the new categories of object introduced by Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA; procedures for exchanging supplementary information when it becomes clear that a SIS II alert concerns a vehicle that has been subject of criminal replication of vehicle details. |
(6) |
To ensure the compliance of transcription and transliteration rules between SIS II and Sirene the rules on transcription and transliteration should be fully aligned with ICD 3.0 for SIS II, the latest version of the Interface Control Document referred to in Council Regulation (EC) No 189/2008 of 18 February 2008 on the tests of the... |
