Corrigendum to Council Decision 2006/1007/JHA of 21 December 2006 amending Decision 2001/886/JHA on
the development of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II)

(Official Journal of the European Union L 411 of 30 December 2006)

Decision 2006/1007/JHA should read as follows:

COUNCIL DECISION 2006/1007/JHA

of 21 December 2006

amending Decision 2001/886/JHA on the development of
Information System (SIS II)

the second generation Schengen

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in
particular Article 30(1)(a) and (b), Article 31(1)(a) and (b) and
Article 34(2)(c) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,

Council Regulation (EC) No 2424/2001 of 6 December
the second generation
2001 on the development of
Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1) and Council
Decision 2001/886/JHA (2) constitute the required legis-
lative basis to allow for the inclusion in the budget of the
European Union of the necessary financial appropriations
for the development of SIS II and the execution of that
part of the budget. Decision 2001/886/JHA and Regu-
lation (EC) No 2424/2001 both expire on 31 December
2006.

The development of SIS II will take longer than initially
foreseen, requiring the availability of
financial appro-
priations beyond 31 December 2006.

It is therefore necessary to extend the period of validity
of Decision 2001/886/JHA so that the Commission can
implement the budget after 2006 in order to complete
the project for the development of SIS II, including the
establishment of the communication infrastructure.

Council Conclusions of 29 April 2004 state that for the
development phase of SIS II the central unit of SIS II
