Rule 138
Cornelia Ernst (The Left)
The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom regulates the participation of British authorities in the Prüm Decisions, ECRIS and the EU PNR system. Great Britain must get out of the relevant Europol databases and analysis projects. Data in the Schengen Information System (SIS II) must also be deleted. British police and border authorities had been using the system improperly since 2015 and have unlawfully made complete or partial copies of SIS II.
- 1.How many data sets entered by authorities from the United Kingdom in Europol databases have been or will be deleted since Brexit, and how are these split between the Europol Information System and individual analysis projects?
- 2.How many data sets entered by authorities from the United Kingdom in the Schengen Information System (SIS II) have been or will be deleted since Brexit, and how are these split among the individual search categories under Articles 24, 26, 32, 34 and 36 of the SIS II Regulation?
- 3.Which data sets entered by authorities from the United Kingdom at Europol and in SIS II will not be deleted on completion of Brexit, and how will the Commission ensure that no copies of SIS II, whether complete or otherwise, are being kept by the UK?
