INTRODUCTION  

This progress report describes the work carried out in the first semester of 2010, concerning 
the  development  of  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  II)  and 
preparations  for  migration  from  SIS  1+  to  SIS  II.  It  is  presented  to  the  Council  and  the 
European  Parliament  in  accordance  with  Article  18  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 
1104/2008  and  of  Council  Decision  2008/839/JHA  on  migration  from  the  Schengen 
Information System (SIS 1+) to the SIS II. This report also constitutes a test status report.

PROJECT STATUS  

2.1. Progress during the period under review 

2.1.1.  Overview 

A key element of this period was the running of the first project milestone test as foreseen in 
the Conclusions of the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council of 4-5 June 2009.  

A  subsequent  JHA  Council  of  30  November  2009  concluded  that  the  final  deadline  with 
regard  to  the  accomplishment  of  the  first  milestone  test  would  be  29  January  2010,  at  the 
latest. 

The  Commission,  in  close  cooperation  with  the  Member  States,  put  in  place  the  necessary 
elements to implement these Council Conclusions.  

Accordingly, during this period, work was carried out in three major areas: 

•  Carrying out the first milestone test; 

•  Preparation for a possible alternative technical scenario; 

•  Refinement of the system requirements to achieve entry into operation of the system. 

2.2. The first milestone test 

The  first  run  of  the  milestone  test  took  place  between  21  and  24  January  2010,  pursuant  to 
testing conditions and technical parameters that were discussed and agreed with the Member 
States  in  advance  of  the  tests.  Whilst  the  central  system  demonstrated  relatively  stable 
behaviour for the first 25 hours, significant issues were encountered during the remaining 47 
hours.  A  comprehensive  technical  analysis  of  the  test  results  was  carried  out  by  the 
Commission's Quality Assurance contractor, as well as by an external contractor mandated by 
the Member States. As stated in the June 2009 Council conclusions, the results of milestone 
tests must be assessed and validated by the Commission jointly with the Global Programme 
Management Board (GPMB) and the SIS II Task Force. 

Following  in-depth  technical  analysis,  assessment  and  validation  of  the  results,  the  test  was 
found  to  be  inconclusive  by  a  large  majority  of  Member  States'  technical  experts  in  the 
GPMB  and  SIS  II  Task  Force.  The  Commission  followed  that  advice  and  a  test  re-run  was 
launched  in  accordance  with  the  Council  Conclusions  of  June  2009,  whereby,  "any  test 
declared as inconclusive will be repeated until it fails or passes".

The  re-run  of  the  milestone  test  took  place  between  2  and  5  March  2010.  A  majority  of 
Member States (13 out of 16 in the relevant expert bodies) concluded that the re-run test was 
"passed".  To  put  this  substantial  test  into  context,  within  the  72  hours  of  the  test,  860  180 
transactions  involving  the  creation,  update  or  deletion  (C.U.D.)  of  an  alert  were  processed, 
each within the service level agreement time of three minutes. Out of the 26 844 897 queries 
sent during the 72 hour load test 26 834 528 (99.96%) were answered by the central system 
within the service level agreement time of one second (the majority of the remaining queries 
were answered in less than three seconds). All messages (C.U.D. and queries) received were 
correctly  acknowledged  by  the  central  system.  Over  the  test  period  the  central  system 
demonstrated that it  handled  an  average of 100  standard  queries  per  second  and  3.3  C.U.D. 
transactions per second. The Commission noted throughout the first milestone period that the 
overall  atmosphere  of  cooperation  with  Member  States'  experts  in  the  framework  of  the 
GPMB during the milestone test was very fruitful. 

In  addition  to  the  declaration  of  the  successful  outcome  of  the  first  milestone  test,  the 
Commission provided further input for Council deliberations by adopting, on 12 April 2010, a 
report on the financial and contractual aspects of developing the second generation Schengen 
Information System (SIS II)1.  

Accordingly, the JHA Council on 23 April 2010 decided that the development of SIS II will 
continue  on  the  basis  of  the  current  SIS  II  project  and  invited  the  Commission  to  present  a 
comprehensive  global  schedule  for  the  entry  into  operation  of  SIS  II  to  the  Council  at  its 
meeting  on  3-4  June  2010.  This  will  have  to  be  confirmed  as  a  binding  global  schedule 
preferably  by  the  end  of  July  2010  and  at  the  latest  at  the  Council  meeting  on  7-8  October 
2010. 

The Commission presented to the JHA Council on 3-4 June 2010 a high-level schedule for the 
entry into operation of SIS II which is due to be confirmed in the October JHA Council. This 
schedule sets a target date of the first quarter of 2013 for entry into operations.  

The  European  Parliament  was  also  regularly  and  transparently  informed  on  the  progress 
towards and results of the first milestone test. 

2.3. Preparations for an alternative technical solution 

In  order  to  prepare  the  ground  for  a  possible  switch  to  an  alternative  technical  scenario  for 
implementing the SIS II functionalities, should one of the milestones be judged to have failed, 
bilateral discussions took place between the Commission and France with a view to a possible 
delegation  agreement  for  implementing  the  alternative  option  for  developing  SIS  II  (SIS 
1+RE).  

The  June  2009  and  November  2009  Council  Conclusions  set  out  that  in  the  event  that  the 
milestone tests demonstrate non-compliance with requirements, the Council would have two 
months  to  decide  on  the  basis  of  a  comprehensive  financial  and  contractual  information 
whether to invite the Commission to stop the current SIS II project and continue with the SIS 
II development on the basis of an alternative technical solution.  

The  French  administration  highlighted  that  the  contract  negotiated  for  the  replacement  of 
obsolete components of the current SIS 1+ (and optionally extendable for SIS  1+RE)  could

not be used beyond September 2010. Hence, if not activated as a result of the first milestone 
test, no contingency plan would be available to back the second milestone test. This point was 
recorded in the JHA Council Conclusions of April 2010.  

A key element of any delegation to France concerned the adoption of the legislative proposals 
to  amend  the  migration  instruments  providing  the  required  legal  flexibility  for  SIS  II 
development by means of an alternative technical scenario. This was achieved on 3 June 2010 
with the adoption of two Council Regulations, which entered into force on 25 June 20102. On 
this  basis,  there  is  ongoing  will  and  commitment,  from  the  Commission  and  France,  to 
identify  the  necessary  contractual  arrangements  to  ensure  a  contingency  scenario  for  the 
second milestone test. 

2.4. Preparations for entry into operation 

The  refinement  of  requirements  exercise  focussed  on  fixing  the  requirements  to  avoid  a 
background to the project of constantly evolving needs. 

The key issue is system capacity. The original specifications anticipated the management of 
15  million  records,  increasing  over  time  to  22  million.  Due  to  expansion  in  the  number  of 
Member States using the SIS and intensive use of the system by the competent authorities at 
national  level,  by  January  2010  the  existing  system  contained  over  31  million  alerts.  The 
participants in a series of workshops agreed that the estimated size of SIS II at go-live is likely 
to be 52 million alerts. Accordingly, it was agreed that the system capacity at go-live should 
be 70 million alerts and that SIS II should be tested to a capacity of 100 million alerts, without 
the need for technical change. 

The implications of this significant deviation from the original specifications were discussed 
regarding  acceptable,  business-oriented  levels  of  performance  in  relation  to  queries  in  the 
system and transactions which involve creating, updating or deleting alerts. Additionally, the 
ability of the central SIS II to handle this greater throughput was investigated and proposals 
made. 

Further discussions covered the priorities of end users upon switchover from the central unit 
to the back-up central unit should there be a major problem at the principal location housing 
the  central  SIS  II.  Again,  the  participants  identified  solutions  set  out  in  service  level 
agreements.  

As a result of the intensive work on requirements, on 26 May the SISVIS Committee was in a 
position to consider the updated system requirements and the outline of the global schedule 
for SIS II. The new proposed date of entry into operation of SIS II is the first quarter of 2013. 

The Commission informed the Council of the new schedule at the JHA Council on 3-4 June 
2010.  The  global  schedule  formed  a  basis  for  the  insertion  of  a  new  expiry  date  (31  March 
2013) to the proposal for amending the legal instruments governing transfer from SIS 1 + to 
SIS II (“the migration instruments”). With respect to the budgetary estimate, the Commission 
declared  at  the  Council  that  its  intention  was  to  maintain  the  cost  within  the  budgetary 
envelope for SIS II approved for the current financial perspectives (2007-2013).

The  Commission  shall  achieve  the  remaining  and  final  contractual  coverage  necessary  to 
achieve entry into operation of the system.  

It  is  important  to  note  this  process  of  refining  the  requirements  did  not  modify  the  core 
obligations stemming directly from the SIS II legal instruments. 

2.5. 

Preparations for migration 

The Council  Regulation3 and Council Decision4 governing  migration from SIS 1+  to SIS II 
(the migration instruments) lay down the tasks and responsibilities of the Commission and the 
Member States for preparing this migration, including further development and testing of SIS 
II.  As  these  legal  instruments  contained  an  expiry  date  of  30  June  2010,  the  Commission 
tabled proposals to amend them, chiefly with a view to extending the deadline for transferring 
data  from  SIS  1+  to  SIS  II.  The  outcome  was  the  adoption,  on  3  June  2010,  of  Council 
Regulation  541/20105  amending  Regulation  (EC)  no  1104/2008  on  migration  from  the 
Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  1+)  to  the  second  generation  Schengen  Information 
System  (SIS  II)  and  Council  Regulation  (EU)  542/20106  amending  Decision  2008/839/JHA 
on the same subject. 

Together, these Regulations, in line with the JHA Council Conclusions of 4-5 June 2009:  

•  Give formal status to the GPMB;  

•  Provide legal flexibility for an alternative technical scenario;  

•  Set  out  that  the  migration  instruments  "shall  expire  on  a  date  to  be  fixed  by  the 
Council…and  in  any  case  no  later  than  on  31  March  2013  or  on  31  December  2013  in 
case of a switchover to an alternative technical scenario…" 

2.6. SIS II network  

The SIS II project includes the provision of a wide area communications network, meeting the 
requirements  of  availability,  security,  geographical  coverage  and  level  of  service,  to  enable 
the national and central systems to communicate.  

In  late  May,  the  Commission  took  a  decision  to  temporarily  suspend  the  back-up  local 
national interfaces. These back-up sites are optional. Given the new draft project schedule, a 
financial saving could thus be made on network costs. Member States were informed about 
this step. The sites will be re-activated at a later stage, prior to go-live. 

During the period covered by this report the connections to the SIS II s-TESTA network were 
successfully established for Bulgaria on time and within budget.

2.7. 

Operational management 

During the transitional phase between the entry into operations of SIS II and the setting up of 
the  agency  for  long-term  operational  management  of  large-scale  IT  systems  in  the  area  of 
justice,  freedom  and  security  (including  SIS  II),  the  Commission  will  be  responsible  for 
operational management of SIS II.  

Preparations  for  a  two  year  extension  to  the  contract  with  the  French  authorities  for 
infrastructure and offices are in their final stages7. In the framework of the service contract on 
recruitment  and  training,  the  French  authorities  have  recruited  staff  to  operate  the  systems 
developed by the Commission. One major priority is to complete negotiations with France on 
the contractual framework covering operational tasks during the transitional phase. A further 
priority  is  to  seek  agreement  with  France  on  delegation  arrangements  for  continuing 
development on the basis of the SIS 1+RE solution, should this solution be required. 

The original proposals for a legislative package for establishing an IT agency8 were replaced 
in March 2010 by a revised proposal9 for a Regulation, taking account of changes introduced 
by the Lisbon Treaty. Negotiations on these proposals are ongoing in the preparatory bodies 
of the Council and in the European Parliament, with a view to their adoption by the end of 
2010.  

2.8. 

Security and data protection 

Following points raised by some Member States, the Commission carried out a study on the 
question  of  access  to  unencrypted  data,  which  can  only  take  place  within  the  secure 
environment of the network operating centre in Bratislava. Several scenarios were outlined on 
which Member States were consulted. The options included a second layer of encryption but 
also  a  set  of  additional  organisational  measures.  There  was  no  broad  consensus  within  the 
Member  States  on  the  most  suitable  scenario.  It  was  observed  that  the  implementation  of  a 
second layer of encryption would be both costly and time consuming. Additionally it would 
be necessary to consider the possible impact on network stability and performance. 

The  Commission  organised  two  visits  for  Member  States'  experts  to  the  network  operating 
centre.  The  experts  commented  favourably  on  the  internal  organisation  and  security  in  the 
centre  and  made  some  recommendations.  The  Commission  will  carefully  follow  the 
implementation of those recommendations and arrange further consultation, if required. 

On  4  May  2010  the  Commission  adopted  the  SIS  II  Security  Plan  which  will  cover  the 
security of SIS II during the transitional period, until the IT agency is established10.

The  central  SIS  II  and  VIS  systems  are  physically  located  in  Strasbourg  with  a  back-up  site  close  to 
Salzburg in Austria. In accordance with the SIS II legal instruments, prior to this reporting period, the 
Commission had already concluded service contracts on infrastructure, recruitment and training, with a 
view to delegating operational management tasks to the French authorities.

MANAGEMENT  

3.1. 

Financial implications  

By the end of the reporting period the total budgetary commitments made by the Commission 
on  the  SIS  II  project,  since  2002,  amounted  to  €  93.987.003.  The  corresponding  contracts 
include  feasibility  studies,  the  development  of  the  central  SIS  II  itself,  support  and  quality 
assurance,  the  SIS  II  network,  preparation  for  operational  management  in  Strasbourg, 
security, biometrics preparations and communication. 

Of this amount, € 55.574.168 had actually been  paid between 2002 and the end of June 2010. 
The  main  expenditure  items  were  development  (€  26.500.816),  the  network  (€  16.012.711) 
and support and quality assurance (€ 7.192.480). 

As  agreement  has  been  reached  on  Member  States'  final  operational  requirements  for  the 
system,  the  Commission  is  commencing  negotiations  with  its  main  development  contractor 
with a view to obtaining precise figures on costing for additional work required to complete 
the  project  and  to  achieving  respective  contractual  coverage.  This  will  enable  a  detailed 
budget covering the period until the entry into operations of the system to be presented to the 
JHA Council by October 2010 at the latest.

During the period covered by the present report penalties of € 390.000, imposed on the main 
development  contractor  for  failure  to  accomplish  the  SIS  II  Operational  System  Tests  in 
December 2008, have been offset against payments for other deliverables. 

3.2. 

Project management  

3.2.1.  Global Programme Management Board (GPMB) 

The partnership embodied in the GPMB has been one of the key features of this period. The 
status  of  the  GPMB  has  now  been  formalised  with  the  adoption  on  3  June  2010  of  the  two 
Council  Regulations  on  migration  from  the  Schengen  Information  System  (SIS  1+)  to  the 
second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), which entered into force on 25 June 
2010.  

The informal formation of the GPMB met 21 times during the period covered by this report.  

3.2.2.  SISVIS Committee (SIS II) 

The  Commission  is  assisted  in  the  development  of  SIS  II  by  the  SISVIS  Committee.  There 
were five meetings of the SISVIS Committee on SIS II matters in the period January – June 
2010. 

In  addition  to  regular  SISVIS  Committee  meetings,  working  groups  of  the  Committee  and 
workshops,  involving  Member  States'  experts,  are  organised  to  discuss  detailed  technical 
issues. These meetings generally focus on issues arising from specific project deliverables: 

•  The  "Test  Advisory  Group"  (TAG),  provides  the  SISVIS  Committee  with  an  opinion  on 
issues  related  to  the  organisation,  implementation  and  interpretation  of  tests.  This  group 
held seven meetings in this reporting period; 

•  The "Change Management Board" (CMB), provides advice on classification, qualification 
and the potential impact of correction of reported issues. This working group, which also 
reports to the SISVIS Committee, met six times during the reporting period;  

•  Two  SIS  II  Migration  Workshops  were  held  during  this  period,  to  advise  the  SISVIS 

Committee and pursue activities on this critical topic. 

3.2.3.  National planning and coordination 

A  working  group  composed  of  the  Member  States'  and  users'  national  project  managers 
(NPM)  is  organised  within  the  framework  of  the  SISVIS  Committee.  The  purpose  of  these 
NPM meetings is to deal with detailed planning issues, risks and activities both at the central 
and national project levels. During this reporting period four NPM meetings have taken place.  

3.2.4.  Council  

The  Commission  takes  part  in  the  meetings  of  the  preparatory  bodies  of  the  Council 
responsible  for  the  Schengen  Information  System  and  each  Council  of  Ministers  session 
where SIS II is included on the agenda. On these occasions, the Commission presented oral 
reports on the state of play of the SIS II project, the associated risks and the envisaged next 
steps.

3.2.5.  European Parliament 

The  European  Parliament  followed  developments  closely  throughout  this  period.  It  is  also 
likely that the announcements by the Committee on Budgets "to hold funds allocated to the 
migration to the SIS II in reserve pending successful testing and a comprehensive audit" will 
be followed up during the 2011 budget procedure.  

The Commission continued to keep the European Parliament informed on the state of play on 
SIS II: bilateral meetings with MEPs regularly took place, a letter was sent by Commissioner 
Malmström  to  the  Chairman  of  the  LIBE  Committee  of  the  European  Parliament  (and  to 
rapporteurs) following each JHA Council in the first semester of 2010. Presentations on the 
state of play of SIS II have been made in the LIBE Committee, notably on 10 May.  

Finally, the Commission responded to two Parliamentary questions relating to SIS II. 

4. 

PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT REPORTING PERIOD  

•  Finalisation of negotiations with the main development contractor with a view to ensuring 

contractual coverage for the refined requirements; 

•  Preparation of a comprehensive global schedule and a detailed budget for the completion 
of  the  project  (taking  account  of  the  above-mentioned  contractual  negotiations)  by  the 
October JHA Council at the latest; 

•  Implementation  of  the  final  requirements  for  entry  into  operation  agreed  by  the  Member 

States; 

•  Development of the test campaign for the refined requirements;

CONCLUSIONS 

During this reporting period there were a number of key points which moved the project in a 
positive  direction.  It  was  mainly  the  successful  outcome  to  the  first  milestone  test  which 
allowed  progress  to  be  made  in  a  number  of  fields,  not  least  the  confirmation,  in  the  JHA 
Council on 23 April that the development of SIS II will continue on the basis of the current 
SIS II project. This was supported on 3 June by the adoption of the two Regulations amending 
the  deadline  for  entry  into  operation.  In  addition,  some  long-standing  issues  such  as  the 
security of data passing through the network operations centre were moved forward. The visit 
to  this  centre  succeeded  in  demonstrating  to  Member  States'  experts  the  extensive  risk 
mitigation measures in place. 

Furthermore,  the  Council  invited  the  Commission,  together  with  the  Member  States,  to 
swiftly finalise the system requirements for the entry into operation of SIS II. This reporting 
period  saw  intensive,  fruitful  cooperation,  within  a  constructive  atmosphere,  where  experts 
from  the  Commission  and  Member  States  refined  the  requirements  for  the  entry  into

operation.  Much  of  the  detailed  discussion  for  this  exercise  took  place  in  the  Global 
the  above-mentioned 
Programme  Management  Board  which  was  formalised  within 
Regulations. 

The  updating  of  the  requirements  is  intended  to  make  progress  towards  the  entry  into 
operation of SIS II, including the integration of the second milestone test into the set of tests 
defined to streamline the development of the SIS II project. 

The JHA Council also requested a new global schedule and detailed budget estimate. At the 
June Council, the Commission pointed out that detailed negotiations with the main contractor 
would  be  pursued  throughout  the  summer  in  order  to  seek  to  incorporate  the  refined 
requirements  into  the  project  contract.  The  outcome  of  this  process  can  be  expected  for  the 
JHA Council meeting in October 2010.
