Talk:Schengen Information System

message: SIS2 contains no provision for photographs, fingerprints, or DNA details. The data being held, and who can gain access to it is governed by a fairly strict legal framework that took longer to draft than the computer system is taking to write. It cannot be expanded unless the appropriate legal framework is also expanded.
SIS's sister system VIS (Visa Information System) does have fingerprints and passport style facial images. However the legal framework governing these, which cover only those people from outside the Schengen area requiring visas dictate that records are expunged after five years. 
The Prüm Convention should be mentioned and linked in this article as it is a parallel development in the area of information exchange.

message: The article states that 19 additional countries have joined the agreement, but goes on to list 20, including Switzerland (which would bring the total to 25, not 24 as stated in several places), and does not mention that Switzerland is NOT a member of the EU.
In the article are many, many mistakes. 5 countries cited were not initial countries building the SIS, but initial countries signing the Schengen Agreement. Initial countries developing SIS were Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain. 
First and foremost use of SIS is compensation for borders abolishment. 
"Ireland and the United Kingdom use the Schengen Information System for law enforcement purposes." - to my knowledge UK and IR do not use SIS at the moment at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.180.48.44 (talk) 16:01, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Readability

message: Hi
Does this need updating? 20 added later to original 5 = 25, 25 +2 =27; however, there are 27 EU members - Cyprus and Bulgaria are signatories to Amsterdam treaty, have they also signed up to the Schengen agreement? If so that would give 29, but it should be thirty if we include the three that are not EU members (Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland) ... numbers seem to be a little off somewhere (though it could be my maths).

thread_title:  Entry/Exit System 

message: This article is lacking in information on the criticisms of the Schengen Information System such as seen here (PDF). 
For a real life example of the issues involved there's the case of British journalist Matt Broomfield, covered here and here.
I'm not currently able to fix this omission myself so if another editor can that'd be appreciated. 167.179.145.42 (talk) 08:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
