Following on from the SIS (Schengen Information System) and EURODAC, the VIS will be the third major information-technology-based system to be set up within the area of freedom, security and justice.
VIS foreslås som et system "til udveksling af data om visa mellem medlemsstaterne".
The VIS is proposed as ‘a system for the exchange of Visa data between Member States’.
Forslaget omfatter to hovedprocedurer, nemlig indsamling af data om visa under visaudstedelsesproceduren og mulighed for, at myndigheder med beføjelser til at foretage kontrol ved de ydre grænser kan konsultere disse data ved behov ( KOM(2003) 771 ).
Two main processes are identified in the proposal: the gathering of Visa data when a Visa is issued and consultation of those data (whenever such information is required) by the authorities responsible for carrying out checks at external borders ( COM(2003) 771 ).
Både Rådet (RIA) og Det Europæiske Råd har siden september 2001 gentagne gange anmodet Kommissionen om at oprette dette system.
Since September 2001 both the JHA Council and the European Council have repeatedly called upon the Commission to set up such a system.
