It will be renewed on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 Schengen Information System (SIS) has gone live in all Schengen countries.
This EU information system supports border controls and law enforcement cooperation within and between the Schengen countries. It contains information about people who are wanted, missing, have no access to, or are not allowed to stay in it Schengen area. Objects such as cars, firearms and stolen or lost identity documents are also registered.
A new feature of the updated SIS is the possibility to preventively register persons in the SIS Recast. This can be used to protect vulnerable persons such as children against sexual violence, human trafficking and kidnapping, when there is a concrete risk that they could become victims.
More about the SIS
The Schengen Information System (SIS) is the largest and most widely used information exchange system for security and border management in Europe. The system was developed to compensate for the absence of internal border controls between the Schengen countries. It is the most successful cooperation tool between border, immigration, police, customs and judicial authorities in the EU and the associated Schengen countries.
Since 1995, SIS has been helping Europe to ensure security in the absence of internal border controls. In 2013, the second generation of the SIS (SIS II) was introduced, with additional functions such as the possibility to add fingerprints and photos to alerts.
Updated SIS
The recently updated SIS has been implemented in the Netherlands by the police under the banner of the Borders and Security programme. This program works together with various ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Justice and Security, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Repatriation and Departure Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justid, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, the National Police and the Public Prosecution Service. The program aims at timely and correct implementation of a number of European regulations, of which the SIS regulation is the first to be introduced.
