Long stay visa and alerts in the Schengen Information System SIS

Following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009, the old legal basis of the proposal - Art.63(3)(a) of the EC Treaty - became Art. 79 (2)(a) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). Moreover the proposal, which had previously fallen under the old consultation procedure (CNS), was classified as an ordinary legislative procedure (COD).

At the sitting of 09/03/2010 in Strasbourg, Parliament adopted its position at first reading (under the ordinary legislative procedure) on the proposal for a regulation amending the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement and Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 as regards movement of persons with a long-stay visa (see procedure file 2009/0028(COD)). That proposal had been submitted to Parliament in parallel with the proposal for a regulation amending the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement as regards long stay visa and alerts in the Schengen Information System, which is the subject of this procedure file.

In the legislative resolution contained in its position on procedure 2009/0028(COD), Parliament stated that, as a result of the incorporation into that procedure of the contents of Commission proposal COM(2009)0090 and of the draft reports in relation thereto, procedure 2009/0025(COD) (on the proposal for a regulation amending the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement as regards long stay visa and alerts in the Schengen Information System) was deemed to have lapsed. No further action would therefore be taken on this procedure.

As announced in Official Journal C 156 of 2 June 2012, the Commission withdrew this proposal.
