SIS II has been developed as a replacement for SIS 1+ and, unlike the latter, it should be funded out of the EU budget and operate within the s-TESTA network.

Owing to a variety of problems the project has suffered a number of delays and the latest forecast is that SIS II will become operational for the Member States using SIS 1+ on 17 December 2008.

This creates a very difficult situation, since there will be no network-service provision between 13 November 2008 and 17 December 2008, which will seriously jeopardise free movement within the Schengen area.

Hence the Council has decided to take the necessary action in order to guarantee the existence of a network for SIS 1+ (according to the current timetable, SISone4all should already be operational) for the period from 13 November to 17 December 2008 (if there are no further delays relating to SIS II).

In February 2007 it was decided that the Deputy Secretary-General of the Council (again acting on behalf of the relevant Member States) should issue a call for tender for the renewal of the SISNET contract with a view to ensuring that the service will be available after November 2008.

Creation of a fall-back solution with the s-TESTA network
Creation of a fall-back solution with the s-TESTA network
Taking in account the risks inherent in any procurement process, the Council has decided to ask the Commission to put forward whatever legal proposals are called for in order to enable SIS 1+ to migrate from SISNET into the s-TESTA network (Secured Trans-European Services for Telematics between Administrations, which should be provided under SIS II), as an alternative network solution enabling the Schengen systems to continue functioning.

THE CURRENT LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
THE CURRENT LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS
On 11 June 2007 the Commission submitted two proposals: one for a Council Decision and one for a Council Regulation on the installation, operation and management of a Communication Infrastructure for the Schengen Information System (SIS) environment, on which the European Parliament is now being consulted.

The general objective of the Commission proposals is to provide a temporary fall-back solution enabling SIS operations to continue when the current SISNET contract expires and until the migration to SIS II is completed, should the Council tendering procedure not result in the conclusion of any agreement or contract for the provision of the services required for the SIS environment.

Since what is involved is a purely intergovernmental system, the rapporteur considers that the most cost-effective solution would be to establish a new SISNET contract ensuring that the network is available after 13 November 2008.

The fall-back solution envisaged in these proposals - the installation by the Commission of a new communication infrastructure for SIS 1+ via a specific contract with the s-TESTA provider, to be funded out of the EU general budget - presents very high risks in terms of delays on the legal and technical front and in terms of ambiguity in decision-making.

Nevertheless, as things stand at present, it is important to note that if the tender procedure fails, the Commission's proposal seems to be the only remaining solution to the problem of the possible unavailability of the communications network for SIS operations and related SIRENE additional information exchanges, which would necessarily result in the reintroduction of internal border controls.
