REGULATION (EU) 2021/1133 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 7 July 2021
amending Regulations (EU) No 603/2013, (EU) 2016/794, (EU) 2018/1862, (EU) 2019/816 and (EU) 2019/818 as regards the establishment of the conditions for accessing other EU information systems for the purposes of the Visa Information System
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular point (e) of Article 78(2), point (d) of Article 82(1), point (a) of Article 87(2), and Article 88(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:

The Visa Information System (VIS) was established by Council Decision 2004/512/EC (3) to serve as the technological solution for exchanging visa data between Member States. Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) laid down the purpose, functionalities and responsibilities for the VIS, as well as the conditions and procedures for the exchange of short-stay visa data between Member States to facilitate the examination of applications for short-stay visas and related decisions. Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) set out the rules on the registration of biometric identifiers in the VIS. The access of law enforcement authorities of the Member States and of the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) to the VIS was established by Council Decision 2008/633/JHA (6). That Decision should be integrated into Regulation (EC) No 767/2008, to bring it in line with the current Treaty framework. |

Interoperability between certain EU information systems was established by Regulations (EU) 2019/817 (7) and (EU) 2019/818 (8) of the European Parliament and of the Council so that those systems and their data supplement each other with a view to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of border checks at the external borders of the Union, contributing to preventing and combating illegal immigration and contributing to a high level of security within the area of freedom, security and justice of the Union, including the maintenance of public security and public policy and safeguarding security in the territories of the Member States. |
(3) |
Interoperability between the EU information systems allows those systems to supplement each other in order to facilitate the correct identification of persons, contribute to fighting identity fraud, improve and harmonise data quality requirements of the relevant EU information systems, facilitate the technical and operational implementation by Member States of existing and future EU information systems, strengthen and simplify the data security and data protection safeguards that govern the relevant EU information systems, streamline the law enforcement access to the VIS, the Entry/Exit System (EES), the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and Eurodac, and support the purposes of the VIS, Schengen Information System (SIS), the EES, the ETIAS, Eurodac and the European Criminal Records Information System for third-country nationals (ECRIS-TCN). |
(4) |
The interoperability components cover the VIS, the SIS, the EES, the ETIAS, Eurodac and ECRIS-TCN, as well as Europol data to enable Europol data to be queried simultaneously with those EU information systems. It is therefore appropriate to use those interoperability components for the purpose of carrying out automated queries and... |
