Proposal for a Council Decision on migration from the Schengen Information System (SIS 1+) to the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II)

Summary:

The objective of the present proposal is to establish the legal framework governing the migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II, including a comprehensive test, with a view to demonstrating, in particular, that the level of performance of SIS II is at least equivalent to that achieved with SIS 1+. Furthermore, it intends to regulate the test on exchange of supplementary information. The proposal also amends the Schengen Convention by setting up an interim migration architecture for the operations of SIS 1+ during a transitional period until the migration process is completed.
