Schengen Convention: access for vehicle registration authorities to the Information System SIS, amending the Convention

 The committee adopted the report by Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, PT) broadly approving the Council's common position under the 2nd reading of the codecision procedure, subject to just three amendments. One of these had been adopted by Parliament at 1st reading and was now being reinstated in slightly modified form. The amendment called for the Council to submit an annual report to Parliament on the implementation of the proposed access to vehicle registration authorities to combat vehicle crime. The report should include information and statistics and should state how the data protection rules were applied.
