Schengen: migration from the Schengen Information System (SIS 1+) to the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II). Decision

The Council took note of the current state of play and of a new schedule for implementing the second generation of SIS (SIS II). In accordance with the schedule, migration from SIS1+ to SIS II is planned for September 2009.

This schedule will allow all sides (Schengen states, non-Schengen states and the Commission) to prepare their planning for the further development and start of the operations of the SIS II.

The schedule was afterwards adopted by the Council without discussion.
