"Mr President, instead of talking here today about the approval of a new generation of the Schengen Information System SIS II, we ought much rather to be discussing the disastrous consequences of the information system we already have. I find it scandalous that the overwhelming majority of the persons listed in the SIS have not been charged with any criminal offence. Only 11 000 people have their names stored in these computers because of an arrest warrant for the purpose of deporting them, but there are 780 000 listed as barred from entering any of the EU's Member States.
Article 99 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement states that the SIS can also be used to – as it is termed – obtain information in order to repel a significant danger originating from a specified person, or other significant dangers. This provision means that the names of quite blameless citizens are to be found in the SIS computers. This data was, for example, used in issuing demonstrators with unjustified bans on entry when the summit was held in Genoa. As long as this continues, we cannot give any support to the further development of this Schengen Information System."@en1
