COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/1956
of 26 October 2015
fixing the date of effect of Decision 2008/633/JHA concerning access for consultation of the Visa Information System (VIS) by designated authorities of Member States and by Europol for the purposes of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Decision 2008/633/JHA of 23 June 2008 concerning access for consultation of the Visa Information System (VIS) by designated authorities of Member States and by Europol for the purposes of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences (1), and in particular Article 18(2) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Whereas:
(1) |
Decision 2008/633/JHA provides that it is to take effect from a date to be determined by the Council once the Commission has informed the Council that Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) has entered into force and is fully applicable. |
(2) |
By letter of 2 July 2013, the Commission informed the Council that Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 had entered into force and had been fully applicable as from 27 September 2011. |
(3) |
The conditions for triggering the exercise by the Council of its implementing powers pursuant to Decision 2008/633/JHA have been met and an implementing decision fixing the date of effect of Decision 2008/633/JHA should therefore be adopted. |
(4) |
This Decision replaces Council Decision 2013/392/EU (3), which was annulled by a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘the Court’) (4). In that judgment, the Court maintained the effects of Decision 2013/392/EU until the entry into force of a new act intended to replace it. Therefore, as of the date of entry into force of this Decision, Decision 2013/392/EU ceases to produce effects. |
(5) |
In order to ensure the continuity of access rights for consultation of the VIS by designated authorities of Member States and by Europol for the purposes of the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences, the date from which Decision 2008/633/JHA took effect should be maintained as set out in Article 1 of Decision 2013/392/EU. |
(6) |

(7) |
As regards Switzerland, this Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation's association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7) which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point H, of Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (8). |
(8) |
