EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1. Context of the proposal 

● Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The objective of this proposal, and a proposal for a Council Decision on the same subject, is 
to  establish  the  legal  framework  governing  the  migration  from  the  Schengen  Information 
System  in  its  current  form  SIS  1+  to  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information  System 
(SIS II).  

● General context 

The Schengen Information System (SIS) set up pursuant to the provisions of Title IV of the 
Convention of 19 June 1990 implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between 
the  governments  of  the  States  of  the  Benelux  Economic  Union,  the  Federal  Republic  of 
Germany  and  France  on  the  gradual  abolition  of  checks  at  their  common  borders  (the 
Schengen  Convention),  and  its  development,  SIS  1+,  constitute  an  essential  tool  for  the 
application of the provisions of the Schengen acquis as integrated into the framework of the 
European Union. 

The  development  of  the  second  generation  of  SIS  (SIS  II)  has  been  entrusted  to  the 
Commission  pursuant  to  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2424/2001  and  Council  Decision 
2001/886/JHA of 6 December 2001 on the development of the second generation Schengen 
Information  System  (SIS  II).  SIS  II  will  replace  SIS  1+.  The  SIS  II  development  takes  into 
account  the  latest  developments  in  the  field  of  information  technology  and  allows  the 
introduction of added functionalities. 

Provisions on the establishment, operation and use of SIS II are laid down in Regulation (EC) 
No. 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 of 20 December 2006 on the 
establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS 
II) and Council Decision 2007/533/JHA2 of 12 June 2007 on the establishment, operation and 
use  of  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  II).  These  instruments 
foresee that they will apply to the Member States participating in SIS 1+ only as of dates to be 
fixed by the Council, acting by the unanimity of its Members representing the governments of 
the  Member  States  participating  in  SIS  1+.  They  will  then  replace  the  provisions  of  the 
Schengen  acquis  governing  SIS  1+,  in  particular  the  relevant  provisions  in  the  Schengen 
Convention. 

Before this can happen, the users of the SIS 1+ will have to migrate to the SIS II environment. 
It is therefore necessary to define a legal framework for the migration from SIS 1+ to the SIS 
II environment. In order to reduce the risks of service disruption during migration an interim 
technical  architecture  for  the  operations  of  SIS  1+  will  allow  SIS  1+  and  certain  technical 
parts of the architecture of SIS II to operate in parallel for a transitional period. The migration 
period should be kept very limited.

2. Consultation of interested parties and impact assessment 

● Consultation of interested parties 

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents 

Member States' experts are closely involved in the development of SIS II, in particular in the 
framework of the SIS II Committee. On 13 September 2007 an advisory working group (the 
Migration  Working  Group)  was  established  by  the  SIS  II  Committee  to  examine  specific 
issues  regarding  the  SIS  II  migration.  The  issues  identified  for  the  different  migration 
scenarios  were  studied  with  input  and  participation  from  all  involved  parties.  The  resulting 
evaluation  therefore  comprehensively  described  the  strategy,  planning  and  task  distribution 
for the SIS 1+ to SIS II migration.  

In  addition,  at  its  meeting  of  28  February  2008,  the  Council  invited  the  Commission  to 
present,  without  delay,  the  legal  proposals  to  allow  for  the  inclusion  in  the  budget  of  the 
European  Union  all  activities  in  2009  for  the  SIS  II,  including,  if  necessary,  further 
development  activities  and  to  govern  the  SIS  II  activities  foreseen  up  to  the  start  of  its 
operations.  The  Commission  was  also  invited  to  provide  a  converter,  to  be  used  for  a  very 
limited period of time, linking SIS 1+ and SIS II to ensure that SIS can continue functioning 
in any scenario.  

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account 

The  present  proposal  takes  into  account  the  result  of  extensive  discussions  with  Member 
States, especially in the framework of the SIS II Committee.  

● Collection and use of expertise 

External expertise was not used to prepare this proposal. 

● Impact assessment 

No  Impact  Assessment  is  required  for  this  proposal  for  a  Council  Regulation  which  is  not 
included in the Commission's Annual Legislative and Work Programme (CLWP).  

3. Legal elements of the proposal 

● Summary of the proposed action 

The  objective  of  the  present  proposal  is  to  establish  the  legal  framework  governing  the 
migration  from  SIS  1+  to  SIS  II,  including  a  comprehensive  test,  with  a  view  to 
demonstrating,  in  particular,  that  the  level  of  performance  of  SIS  II  is  at  least  equivalent to 
that  achieved  with  SIS  1+.  Furthermore,  it  intends  to  regulate  the  test  on  exchange  of 
supplementary information. 

The  proposal  also  amends  the  Schengen  Convention  by  setting  up  an  interim  migration 
architecture  for  the  operations  of  SIS  1+  during  a  transitional  period  until  the  migration 
process is completed.  

EN 

4 

   EN 

 
To  this  end,  the  proposal  defines  an  interim  Schengen  Information  System  architecture  and 
lays  down  the  tasks  and  responsibilities  for  its  development  as  well  as  the  tasks  and 
responsibilities during the migration process.  

The technical architecture will allow the current central system of SIS 1+ (C.SIS), as referred 
to  in  Article  92  of  the  Schengen  Convention,  to  remain  in  operation  during  a  transitional 
period.  

Beyond  the  availability  of  SIS  1+  and  of  the  Central  SIS  II,  a  technical  tool  (a  'converter') 
allowing  for  the  successful  exchange  of  SIS  data  between  SIS  1+  and  SIS  II  will  be  made 
available during the interim period, to be used for a very limited period of time. 

Some elements of the interim architecture will be made available by the Member States, some 
by  France  acting  on  behalf  of  the  Member  States,  and  others  by  the  Commission.  The 
Commission has the possibility to contract the execution of certain tasks to, amongst others, 
national public bodies. The Commission  and the Member States must closely collaborate in 
the development and operation of the technical elements for the SIS interim architecture.  

Finally, the present proposal covers all maintenance and further development activities of the 
Central SIS II, the communication infrastructure and the national systems (N.SIS II) that will 
prove necessary during the period of its application. 

● Legal basis 

The legal basis for this Regulation is Article 66 of the EC Treaty as it concerns measures to 
ensure  cooperation  between  the  relevant  departments  of  the  administrations  of  the  Member 
States, as well as between those departments and the Commission for policies related to the 
free movement of persons.  

● Subsidiarity principle 

In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the EC Treaty, the 
main objective of the proposed action, namely the migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II, cannot be 
achieved by the Member States individually.  

● Proportionality principle 

The  present  proposal  does  not  go  beyond  what  is  necessary  to  achieve  its  objective.  It 
complies with the proportionality principle in that the activities of the Commission are limited 
to Central SIS II, coordination activities and the provision of a technical tool allowing for the 
successful  exchange  of  SIS  1+  data  between  SIS  1+  and  SIS  II  ('converter'),  The  Member 
States remain competent as regards the migration of the actual data and retain responsibility 
for the national systems. 

● Choice of instruments 

A Council Regulation based on Article 66 of the EC Treaty is the most appropriate instrument 
for the proposed action in view of the need to apply fully-harmonised rules for the migration 
process. The provisions set out in this Regulation must be a set of precise and unconditional 
provisions, directly and uniformly  applicable  in  a  mandatory  way  and,  by  their  very  nature, 
require no action by Member States to transpose them into national law.

   EN 

 
Owing to the two-pillar nature of SIS II a Council Decision based on Articles 30(1) (a) and 
(b), 34(2) (c) of the Treaty on European Union will complement the hereby proposed Council 
Regulation.  

4. Budgetary implications 

Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2424/2001  and  Council  Decision  2001/886/JHA  on  the 
development  of  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information  System  laid  down  that  the 
expenditure involved in the development of the SIS II is to be charged to the general budget 
of the European Union. 

Likewise, under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and 
of the Council of 20 December 2006 and under Article 5 of Council Decision No 533/2007 of 
12  June  2007  the  costs  of  setting  up,  operating  and  maintaining  Central  SIS  II  and  the 
communication infrastructure are to be borne by the general budget of the European Union. 
The  costs  of  setting  up,  operating  and  maintaining  each  N.SIS  II  shall  be  borne  by  the 
Member State concerned. 

In line with this legal framework, the present proposal lays down that the costs arising from 
migration, the comprehensive test, the maintenance and development measures at the central 
level (Central SIS II and Communication Infrastructure) are to be borne by the general budget 
of  the  European  Union.  Testing,  migration,  maintenance  and  development  costs  for  the 
national systems, including N.SIS II, are to be borne by each Member State concerned.  

The costs arising from activities at SIS 1+ level, including supplementary activities of France, 
acting on behalf of the Member States (of SIS 1+), shall be borne in line with Article 119 of 
the Schengen Convention. This article provides that the costs of installing and operating the 
technical  support  function  of  SIS  1+,  as  referred  to  in  Article  92  (3)  of  the  Convention, 
including  the  cost  of  lines  connecting  the  national  sections  of  the  Schengen  Information 
System to the technical  support  function, are  borne jointly by the Member States, while the 
costs of installing and operating the national section of the Schengen Information System are 
borne by each Member State individually. 

The Commission has prepared a financial statement annexed to this proposal. 

5. Additional information 

● Amendment of existing legislation 

The adoption of the proposal will entail the amendment of the Schengen Convention. 

● Review/revision/sunset clause 

The proposal contains a sunset clause. It will expire on the date to be fixed by the Council, 
acting in accordance with Article 55(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006. 

● Timetable 

The present Regulation needs to be adopted in October 2008 at the latest in order to ensure 
the continuity of the preparations and the timely execution of activities covered.

The Schengen Information System (SIS) set up pursuant to the provisions of Title IV 
of the Convention of 19 June 1990 implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 
1985  between  the  Governments  of  the  States  of  the  Benelux  Economic  Union,  the 
Federal  Republic  of  Germany  and  the  French  Republic  on  the  gradual  abolition  of 
checks  at  their  common  borders14  (hereinafter  the  'Schengen  Convention'),  and  its 
further  development,  SIS  1+,  constitute  an  essential  tool  for  the  application  of  the 
provisions  of  the  Schengen  acquis as  integrated  into  the  framework  of  the  European 
Union. 

The development of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) has 
been  entrusted  to  the  Commission  pursuant  to  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 
2424/200115  of  6  December  2001  on  the  development  of  the  second  generation 
Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  II)  and  Council  Decision  2001/886/JHA16 on  the 
development  of  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  II).  Both 
legal  instruments  expire  on  31  December  2008.  This  Regulation  supplements  these 
instruments  and  should  expire  at  the  date  fixed  by  the  Council  acting  in  accordance 
with Article 55(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 on the establishment, operation 
and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II)17.

SIS  II  was  established  by  Regulation  (EC)  No  1987/2006  and  by  Council  Decision 
2007/533/JHA of 12 June 200718.  

This  Regulation  should  be  without  prejudice  to  Regulation  (EC)  No  1987/2006  and 
Decision  2007/533/JHA  and,  in  particular,  to  the  tasks  and  responsibilities  of  the 
regulatory  committee  established  by  Article  51(2)  and  by  Article  67  thereof, 
respectively. The regulatory committee established under theses instruments is, among 
other matters, competent regarding the set up of protocols and technical procedures to 
ensure the compatibility of national systems with the SIS II technical support function. 

It is necessary to establish the conditions, procedures and responsibilities under which 
the migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II should take place.  

A  SIS  II  comprehensive  test  should  be  conducted  in  full  cooperation  between  the 
Member  States  and  the  Commission.  Member  States  should  perform  a  test  on  the 
exchange of supplementary information. 

The  participation  of  Member  States  not  connected  to  SIS  1+  in  the  SIS  II 
comprehensive test and the test on the exchange of supplementary information should 
have no influence on the successful completion of these tests. 

The Commission and Member States should cooperate closely during all steps of the 
migration in order to complete the process.  

As  regards  SIS  1+,  Article  92  of  the  Schengen  Convention  provides  for  a  technical 
support  function  (C.SIS).  As  regards  SIS  II,  Regulation  (EC)  No  1987/2006  and 
Decision 2007/533/JHA provide for a Central SIS II composed of a technical support 
function and a uniform national interface (NI-SIS). The technical support function of 
Central SIS II shall be located in Strasbourg (France) and a back-up in St. Johann im 
Pongau (Austria). 

(10) 

In  order  to  facilitate  the  migration  from  SIS  1+  to  SIS  II  an  interim  migration 
architecture  for  the  Schengen  Information  System  should  be  established  and  tested. 
The  interim  migration  architecture  should  have  no  impact  on  the  operational 
availability of SIS 1+. The technical tools that allow the interim architecture to be set 
up  should  be  provided  by  the  Member  States  participating  in  SIS  1+  and  by  the 
Commission. 

(11)  The  Member  State  issuing  an  alert  should  be  responsible  for  ensuring  that  the  data 
entered into the Schengen Information System is accurate, up-to-date and lawful.  

(12)  The Member States participating in SIS 1+ should migrate from SIS 1+ to SIS II using 
the interim migration architecture, with the support of the France, acting on behalf of 
the Member States, and the Commission.  

(13)  The  Commission  is  and  should  remain  responsible  for  the  Central  SIS  II  and  its 
communication  infrastructure.  It  is  necessary  to  maintain  and,  where  appropriate, 
further  develop  the  Central  SIS  II  and  its  communication  infrastructure.  Additional

The Commission should provide coordination and support for the joint activities. 

(14)  The  Member  States  are  and  should  remain  responsible  for  their  national  systems 
(N.SIS  II).  It  is  necessary  to  maintain  and,  where  appropriate,  further  develop  the 
N.SIS II. 

(15)  France is and should remain responsible for C.SIS. 

(16)  The Commission has the possibility to contract out to third parties, including national 
public  bodies,  tasks  conferred  upon  it  by  this  Regulation  and  tasks  relating  to  the 
implementation of the budget, in accordance with Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) 
No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general 
budget of the European Communities19. 

(17)  Regulation  (EC)  No  45/2001  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  18 
December  2000  on  the  protection  of  individuals  with  regard  to  the  processing  of 
personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of 
such data20 applies to the processing of personal data by the Commission. 

(18)  The European Data Protection Supervisor, appointed pursuant to Decision 2004/55/EC 
of the  European  Parliament and of the Council of  22 December 2003 appointing the 
independent  supervisory  body  provided  for  in  Article  286  of  the  EC  Treaty21,  is 
competent  to  monitor  the  activities  of  the  Community  institutions  and  bodies  in 
relation  to  the  processing  of  personal  data.  Articles  126  to  130  of  the  Schengen 
Convention contain specific provisions on the protection of personal data. Article 118 
of  the  Schengen  Convention  contains  specific  provisions  on  the  security  of  personal 
data. 

(19)  Since the objectives of the action to be taken, namely setting up the interim migration 
architecture  and the  migrating the  data from SIS 1+  to  SIS  II, cannot  be  sufficiently 
achieved by the Member States and can, therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of 
the  action,  be  better  achieved  at  Community  level,  the  Community  may  adopt 
measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, as set out in Article 5 of the 
EC  Treaty.  In  accordance  with  the  principle  of  proportionality,  as  set  out  in  that 
Article,  this  Regulation  does  not  go  beyond  what  is  necessary  to  achieve  those 
objectives. 

(20)  This  Regulation  respects  the  fundamental  rights  and  observes  the  principles 
recognized in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. 

(21)  The Schengen Convention should be amended to allow the integration of SIS 1+ into 

the interim migration architecture. 

(22) 

In  accordance  with  Articles  1  and  2  of  the  Protocol  on  the  position  of  Denmark

Community,  Denmark  does  not  take  part  in  the  adoption  of  this  Regulation  and  is 
therefore not bound by it or subject to its application. Given that this Regulation builds 
upon  the  Schengen  acquis  under  the  provisions  of  Title  IV  of  Part  Three  of  the  EC 
Treaty,  Denmark  should,  in  accordance  with  Article  5  of  the  said  Protocol,  decide 
within  a  period  of  six  months  after  the  adoption  of  this  Regulation  whether  it  will

The  present  proposals  build  upon  the  Schengen  acquis,  as  defined  in  Annex  A  of  the 
agreement signed on 18 May 1999 between the Council and the Republic of Iceland and 
the  Kingdom  of  Norway  concerning  the  association  of  both  these  States  with  the 
implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis. Article 12(1) last 
paragraph  lays  down:  “In  cases  where  operational  costs  are  attributed  to  the  general 
budget  of  the  European  Community,  Iceland  and  Norway  shall  share  in  these  costs  by 
contributing to the said budget an annual sum in accordance with the percentage of the 
gross national product of their countries in relation with the gross national product of all 
participating States”.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

For the details of the context of the proposal see the Explanatory Memorandum. Need to 
be met in the short or long term 

The  proposal  aims  to  provide  the  legal  framework  for  the  incremental  and 
smooth migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II in order to allow the Member States to 
prepare  for  this  operation  and,  in  anticipation  such  action,  to  provide  the  legal 
framework for final comprehensive (global) tests. A comprehensive test of SIS

II will be conducted in 2008 and 2009 by the Commission with the support of 
external  contractors.  For  the  purposes  of  migration,  an  interim  technical 
architecture of the systems is also needed where SIS 1+ runs in parallel with SIS 
II at the central level. 

5.1. 

Value-added  of  Community  involvement  and  coherence  of  the  proposal  with 
other financial instruments and possible synergy 

This proposal supplements and facilitate the development of the new generation 
of Schengen Information System and creates synergies between SIS 1 + and SIS 
II. 

5.2. 

Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context 
of the ABM framework 

The  main  objective  of  the  proposal  is  to  ensure  that  SIS  II  starts  operating 
successfully.  The  expected  result  of  this  proposal  is  to  ensure  a  smooth 
migration of data from SIS 1 + to SIS II and the complete switchover to SIS II. 
The  indicator  is  that  all  Member  States  should  successfully  migrate  their  data 
and systems.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

6.1.  Monitoring system 

Progress  will  be  assessed  at  regular  points  and  performance  measured  against 
required  standards  and  pre-set  criteria.  This  should  demonstrate  that  the 
investment delivers the required result. 

The monitoring will be carried out via an external support contractor for quality 
assurance. 

6.2. 

Evaluation 

6.2.1.  Ex-ante evaluation 

Conclusions  of  the  SIS  II  Committee  on  19  December  2007,  drawn  up  on  the 
basis of the impact assessment report prepared by the Migration Working Group. 

6.2.2.  Measures  taken  following  an  intermediate/ex-post  evaluation  (lessons  learned 

from similar experiences in the past) 

NA 

6.2.3.  Terms and frequency of future evaluation 

The  future  evaluation  will  take  place  after  the  comprehensive  test  (first 
evaluation)  and  after  migration  has  taken  place  (second  evaluation).  Each 
evaluation must measure the effectiveness of the actions and shall indicate if the 
test and whether migration have been executed properly.
