Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation Schengen information system (SIS II)

Summary: 

The main objective of this Regulation, together with the Decision on the establishment, operation and use of the second generation of the Schengen Information System (hereinafter referred to as “SIS II”) based on Title VI of the Treaty on the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the “EU Treaty”) is to establish the legal framework that shall govern the SIS II.
