"The Schengen Information System (SIS) is by far the most important instrument for the security of the Schengen Area, which is rightly considered the backbone of a Europe without borders and an area of freedom, security and justice. The SIS II (the second generation SIS) makes it possible to add new data (biometric data, in particular), new types of indication and new functions which can increase security and lead to a more intelligent use of information through interconnected alerts. The migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II should start once the tests have all been successfully concluded, probably in January 2013. Following discussions between Member States, the Council considered it more appropriate to split the Commission’s proposal into two texts: one in which the United Kingdom and Ireland are taking part and one in which they are not taking part. The resulting two texts of the Council practically correspond with the Commission’s original proposal. Parliament was also informed of this step. For several years, it has upheld the need for a clearly Union solution and rejected the continued use of an intergovernmental structure. I believe that this is one of the reasons why we support SIS II. I am convinced that this is an important instrument for increasing security in the Schengen Area, ending the intergovernmental control of the system and greatly improving data protection and fundamental human rights. It should therefore enter into force as soon as possible."@en1
