		Among the agreements reached by the Schengen partners was the abolition of internal border controls and the reinforcement of controls at external borders, such as at airports.
		It is for instance more or less impossible for the nsis to generate policy information, since no records can be maintained of descriptions of wanted or missing persons that have been entered in the system, that still need entering or that need to be deleted.
		Equally, the system does not provide for registration of the results of investigations and their effects, which makes it difficult to adjust input and obtain a proper overview of results.

	Statewatch News online: SIS II database takes on an ominous shape
		The Schengen Convention was adopted in 1990 and lead to a whole series of measures for common standards and cooperation between its member states - collectively this is known as the Schengen acquis.
		This was not envisaged in the Schengen Convention and in fact provision was made for allowing "alerts" to be placed on the SIS on their behalf.
		Every single proposal has implications for the data protection provisions in the Schengen Convention and it is hard to envisage anything but a significant reduction in the effect of existing standards, and a battle for the already hard pressed Schengen Joint Supervisory Authority on these issues.
