COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1345
of 4 August 2016
on minimum data quality standards for fingerprint records within the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II)
(notified under document C(2016) 4988)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (1), and in particular point (a) of Article 22 thereof,
Having regard to Council Decision 2007/533/JHA of 12 June 2007 on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) (2), and in particular point (a) of Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) started operation on 9 April 2013 when Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA became applicable. |
(2) |
SIS II enables competent authorities, such as police and border guards, to enter and consult alerts on certain categories of wanted or missing persons and objects. For alerts on persons the minimum data-set is name, sex, a reference to the decision giving rise to the alert, and the action to be taken. In addition, when available, photographs and fingerprints are to be added. |
(3) |
SIS II enables to store and process fingerprints in order to confirm the identity of the persons located as a result of an alphanumeric search. In addition, the inclusion of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in SIS II should allow the identification of persons on the basis of their fingerprints. |
(4) |
Quality, accuracy and completeness of fingerprint records are key success factors for SIS II to reach its full potential. Due to the increasing input and processing of fingerprint records in SIS II, and the upcoming inclusion of an AFIS in SIS II, it is necessary to define the minimum data quality standards for fingerprint records used for biometric identification and verification. |
(5) |
Further specifications should be developed at a later stage when the detailed technical specifications of the future Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is defined. |
(6) |
The SIS II fingerprint input format, which should be based on a National Institute of Standards and Technology standard, is not part of this decision. It should be defined in the Interface Control Document. |
(7) |
Provisions on the protection of personal data and security of data in SIS II are set out in Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA which equally apply for the processing of fingerprints in SIS II. In particular, any processing of fingerprints is confined to processing operation authorised under Articles 22(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA. The processing of fingerprints within SIS II must also comply with applicable national provisions on data protection implementing Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) which will be replaced by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and Council Framework Decision 2008/977/JHA (5) which will be replaced by Directive (EU) 2016/680 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). |
(8) |
Given that Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark, in accordance with Article 5 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community, notified by letter of 15 June 2007 the transposition of this acquis into its national law. Denmark participates in... |
