COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2018/1600

of 28 September 2018

concerning the request of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the European Union Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (eu-LISA)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to Article 4 of Protocol No 19 on the Schengen acquis integrated into the framework of the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the request by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, by its letter to the President of the Council of 19 July 2018, to participate in certain provisions of the Schengen acquis, as specified in that letter,

Whereas:

 

(1)

By Decision 2000/365/EC (1) the Council authorised the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (‘the United Kingdom’) to take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis, in accordance with the conditions set out in that Decision.

 

(2)

Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) established the European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (‘the Agency’), commonly referred to as eu-LISA, in order to ensure the operational management of the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), the Visa Information System (VIS) and Eurodac and of certain aspects of their communication infrastructures and potentially that of other large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice, on the basis of separate Union legal acts, based on Articles 67 to 89 of the TFEU.

 

(3)

By Decision 2010/779/EU (3) the Council authorised the United Kingdom to take part in Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 to the extent that it relates to the operational management of the VIS and the parts of the SIS II in which the United Kingdom does not participate.

 

(4)

On 29 June 2017 the European Commission presented a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (eu-LISA), and amending Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Council Decision 2007/533/JHA and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 (‘the proposed Regulation’).

 

(5)

According to the proposed Regulation, the Agency will be replaced and succeeded by the European Union Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (eu-LISA) (‘the proposed Agency’) that will be the legal successor of the Agency. The proposed Agency will be made responsible, as is the case for the Agency, for the operational management of the SIS II, VIS and Eurodac. The proposed Agency will be also responsible for the preparation, development or operational management of the Entry/Exit System (EES), DubliNet and the European Travel Authorisation and Information System (ETIAS) and it might be made responsible for the preparation, development and operational management of other large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice if so provided by relevant Union legal acts based on Articles 67 to 89 of the TFEU.

 

(6)

SIS II is part of the Schengen acquis. Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and Council Decision 2007/533/JHA (5) govern the establishment, operation and use of SIS II. However, the United Kingdom has only taken part in the adoption of Decision 2007/533/JHA which develops the provisions of the Schengen acquis...
