REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SECOND GENERATION SCHENGEN INFORMATIONS SYSTEM (SIS II) July 2012 - December 2012 1. Introduction This progress report describes the work carried
out in the second semester of 2012, concerning the development of the second
generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) and preparations for migration
from SIS 1+ to SIS II. It is presented to the Council and the European
Parliament in accordance with Article 18 of Council Regulation (EC) No
1104/2008 of 24 October 2008[1]
and of Council Decision 2008/839/JHA of 24 October 2008[2] on migration from the Schengen
Information System (SIS 1+) to the SIS II. 2. Project Status 2.1. Overview of progress during
the period under review As was demonstrated by the test campaigns
carried out in the second half of 2012, considerable progress has been made in
the development of the central system and in that of the majority of national systems.
As a result, almost all the technical preparatory steps leading up to the
actual migration of data were finalised in this reporting period. However, to achieve such progress required
overcoming some new difficulties: (1)
With regard to the Comprehensive test, a few
Member States failed to meet the test exit criteria within the given timeframe,
including the contingency period. The outstanding issues had to be fixed and
re-tested beyond the foreseen timeframe and therefore in parallel with other
tasks on the critical path to SIS II entry into operation (the SIRENE functional
test[3] and the migration rehearsals in
particular). That represented a considerable risk to the overall
schedule. Nevertheless, thanks to the flexibility of all those involved, the
Member States concerned could perform the test re-runs in the second week of
January 2013. (2)
In October 2012, Finland announced delays in its
national SIS II project, informing the Commission that its national system
would not be ready before February 2013. Following an assessment of the
situation on-site in Finland, the Commission and the Global Programme
Management Board (GPMB) helped Finland defining the way forward with a view to
keeping the SIS II entry into operation date as foreseen. The jointly
identified mitigation solution relies on the temporary installation by Finland of an existing and proven technical solution, known under the acronym SIB[4] that is being already
implemented by several other Member States. Finland has prioritised this
solution whilst separately continuing their national project in parallel. The
progress of the SIB solution in Finland is being further supported and closely
monitored by the Commission and the GPMB. (3)
With regard to the SIRENE functional test –
three Member States (plus Finland which did not take part in the test for the
reason mentioned above) failed to meet the test exit criteria and were given
the opportunity to repeat the test as of 28 January 2013. Overall, the issues faced by the Member
States which had the potential to jeopardise the global schedule have been mitigated
thanks to the goal-oriented approach of the main stakeholders. The swift and
effective way in which the challenging situation in Finland was addressed proved
again the added value of the GPMB. The joint efforts and close cooperation of
Member States with the Commission have ensured that the central project
remained on track, in respect of both time and budget. On the other hand, the
risk mitigation actions have significantly exhausted the remaining contingency
margins. 2.2. Testing activities The series of tests designed to ascertain
the proper functioning, performance and interaction of the national systems and
the central system culminated in the Comprehensive Test, executed in this
reporting period with reruns to take place in the beginning of 2013. As to Finland, the necessary testing
(Compliance test, Comprehensive test, SIRENE functional test) within the
framework of the "Plan B" will be aligned as closely as possible with
the mainstream re-testing activities. (a)
Compliance Test Extended (CTE) All Member States in the end passed the CTE
campaign, which is designed to verify the compliance of the national systems
with the SIS II specifications. The four remaining Member States successfully
completed their testing campaigns by the end of August 2012. This was necessary
for the smooth execution of the Comprehensive Test. However, Finland will perform the tests again as mentioned above. Eurojust and Europol plan to
perform their CTE test in 2013. (b)
Provisional System Acceptance Test (PSAT) The PSAT took place in March 2012 with
positive results demonstrating the robustness and stable performance of both
the Central and Back-Up Central Units. However, certain re-testing was
necessary at the back-up site in St. Johann im Pongau; this took place
successfully in the second half of 2012. (c)
The second Milestone test (M2) The M2, executed in May 2012, proved the
stability, reliability and performance of the Central System under operational
conditions. Building on the positive technical assessment
and validation of the test result, the General Affairs Council of 24 July 2012 took
note of the successful outcome of the M2 test. Herewith, all the conditions set
out for the M2 test in the June 2009 Council Conclusions were finally met. The Commission informed the European
Parliament about the positive outcome of the test. (d)
The Comprehensive test The Comprehensive test represented a
technical and legal precondition for the SIS II entry into operation[5]. The
objectives of the Comprehensive Test were: 1. to confirm that the
Commission and the Member States participating in SIS 1+ have completed the
necessary technical arrangements to process SIS II data and 2. to demonstrate that the
level of performance of SIS II is at least equivalent to that achieved with SIS
1+ (as mentioned in the legal basis). In the Comprehensive Test, the SIS II
system was assessed from an end-to-end point of view. This means that the
National Systems, the network and the Central System were all under test. The tests were jointly managed by a Member
States' Test Manager and a Commission Test Manager. The test cases were defined
in the Comprehensive Test Plan, which was approved by the
relevant Council working party on 24 May 2012. Following the Commission's declaration of
readiness of the Central System (at the Coreper of 30 May 2012), the Comprehensive
Test campaign was executed from 1 June 2012 to 22
August 2012. Member States ran the tests in four groups of six to seven Member States, while the non-participating Member States
were being simulated. Additional rounds of reruns were subsequently
organised in September 2012 to allow Member States to re-execute their
previously failed test cases. The SIS II Central System demonstrated good
and stable performance throughout the Comprehensive test. One error, which was
already known by the Main Development Contractor, was encountered during the
first rounds but was fixed in a later technical update of the Central System. At national level, about half of the Member
States had to rerun the Comprehensive test either fully or partially and with
few exceptions they managed to do that successfully within the foreseen
contingency period. Eventually, 25 Member States passed the Comprehensive test,
although six test rounds instead of the four rounds originally foreseen were
needed to reach this result. Two Member States (Poland and Switzerland) remained to rerun one test case and another two (Denmark and Finland) needed to rerun
the entire test phase. In order to lift the reservation put on its test verdict
Belgium requested to re-execute partially the Comprehensive Test campaign
too. As it was not possible to arrange for a corresponding timeslot in this
reporting semester; the additional reruns were scheduled for the second week of
January 2013. (e)
SIRENE functional test In accordance with the migration legal
instruments the Member States participating in SIS 1+ shall conduct a test on
supplementary information (SIRENE functional test). This test lies within the
responsibility of the Member States. However, as well as providing the Central
system and the communication infrastructure for the execution of the test, the
Commission continued to support Member States in their preparations through the
joint review of the technical specifications of data exchange between the
SIRENE Bureaux, and in the elaboration of the detailed test description.
Following the successful SIRENE connectivity test, the SIRENE functional test
took place in the second half of 2012. Three Member States (plus Finland whenever ready and preferably with the rest of the Member States) had to carry out
a rerun of the test scheduled for the week commencing on 28 January 2013. 2.3. Preparations for the migration
from SIS 1+ to SIS II 2.3.1. Technical preparations A converter,
provided by the Commission, is at the core of the interim migration
architecture designed to allow the transition of the SIS 1 data to the new
system through ensuring consistent communication between both Central SIS II
and the technical support function of SIS 1+ (C.SIS)[6]. Testing
responsibilities are shared between the the European Commission and France
which operates SIS 1+. The converter was successfully tested against both SIS1+
and SIS II. The test of the full functional integration of the converter was succesfully
completed within schedule on 21 August 2012, thereby confirming the convertor
is able to properly convert the messages (alerts) in both directions between
the two systems in accordance with the jointly agreed specifications. Most of
the relatively minor issues encountered were fixed and tested during this
reporting period. The last test is planned for January 2013. The
interoperability tests were completed on 11 December 2012, ahead of schedule.
The results have been handed over to C.SIS for validation and will be made
available at the beginning of January. Following the
Converter tests, the second half of 2012 was dedicated to the migration
rehearsals – first with a limited number of Member States and later, with all
of the migrating Member States. The Limited Migration Rehearsal provided
valuable input and lessons learned for the Global Migration Rehearsal. All
migration procedures, including the entry into operation test, have now been
rehearsed at least once by the Central SIS II project team and the migrating
Member States. The next step will be the live data migration from SIS 1+ to SIS
II starting early in 2013. The Commission
continued working closely with the Member States in writing the Migration
Manual, a document setting out in detail the steps outlined in the Migration
Plan. It also describes roles and responsibilities throughout the process and
describes the detailed schedule for the migration. The Migration Manual is
undergoing a last update based on the findings of the Limited and Global Migration
Rehearsal. In order to ensure the smooth migration to the SIS II, the COM has
in addition supported Member States’ initiatives to step-up the data cleansing
activitites, i.e. to clean up inconsistent, incomplete or obsolete alerts from
the SIS 1 database. 2.3.2. Legal framework The Commission proposed in May 2012 an
amendment to the legal framework governing the actual data migration (the
so-called migration instruments). Within the framework of the consultation
procedure, the European Parliament issued its legislative resolution, at the
plenary session on 20-22 November 2102. Following its adoption by the Council
on 20 December, the recast entered into force on 30 December 2012[7] thus securing the legal
framework for a technically optimised migration process and a possibility of
extra financial support to the national projects in relation to migration
activities. During the course of 2012 the SIS-VIS
Committee[8]
(SIRENE formation), meeting four times, reviewed, updated and agreed the text
of the revision of the SIS II SIRENE Manual and other implementing measures for
the purpose of SIS II. The respective adoption of the Commission Implementing
Decision is foreseen before the entry into operation of the SIS II. 2.4. SIS II network For operational purposes, Member States
have both main and back-up interfaces with the wide area communication network,
enabling the secure communication of the central and national systems. During the reporting period, the process of
reactivating Member States' back-up interfaces continued. A number of tests
involving switching between main and back-up sites took place in this reporting
period. All these test were executed successfully. The SIS II legal instruments describe the
communication infrastructure dedicated to SIS II data and the exchange of data
between SIRENE Bureaux[9].
Following the Member States confirmation of the technical specifications of the
SIS II SIRENE mail relay, the Commission finalised the procurement procedures.
The mail relay was installed in the first half of 2012 and was first tested by
means of the so-called SIRENE Basic Connectivity Tests, for which the
Commission organised four timeslots for Member States to perform the
aforementioned tests. The final wave took place on 4 and 5 September 2012. All
of the 11 participating Member States passed the tests. 2.5. Security The technical
solution for a second encryption layer, to further strengthen the network
security for SIS II, was thoroughly and successfully tested with Germany and Austria in September 2012. The SIS-VIS Committee endorsed the roll-out of the technical
solution, which has already started and will be completed in February 2013. 3. Management 3.1. Financial aspects 3.1.1. SIS II budget By the end of the reporting period, the
total budgetary commitments made by the Commission on the SIS II project since
2002, amounted to EUR 167 632 518. The corresponding contracts include
feasibility studies, the development of the Central SIS II itself, support and
quality assurance, the SIS II network, preparation for operational management
in Strasbourg, security, biometrics preparations, communication and experts'
mission expenses. Of this amount, EUR 128 372 295 had
actually been paid between 2002 and the end of December 2012. The main
expenditure items were development (EUR 70 792 838), the network
(EUR 30 375 617), support and quality assurance (EUR 12 612 386) and
preparation for operational management in Strasbourg and Sankt Johann im Pongau
(EUR 9 309 334). 3.1.2. Additional financing for
Member States' national development In order to support the completion of
national development projects through the European External Borders Fund (EBF),
a significant reallocation of resources towards SIS II national projects was
undertaken within the 2011 programming for the EBF. The Community Actions part
of the EBF has been made available to eight Member States with constraints to
accommodate their extra needs in their annual programmes for 2011. These projects commenced at the end of 2011
and most of them have been completed by the end of 2012. Furthermore, the Commission has made all
the necessary arrangements to launch a call for proposal allowing Member States
to apply for the additional contributions under common Article 16 of the recast
migration instruments at the beginning of 2013. In total, EUR 13 million
has been made available and EUR 715 000 has been fixed as upper limit per Member State (to be co-financed 25 % from national resources). 3.2. Operational management 3.2.1. The Agency for the operational
management of the large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and
justice (eu-LISA) The preparatory activities to set up the eu-LISA
[10] (in particular the
recruitment of the staff, the fitting of the temporary premises, the finalisation
of the key documents such as the work programme for 2012 and 2013 and the negotiation
of agreements with host Member States and associated countries) significantly
intensified during the reporting period. Building on the preparatory work undertaken
by the Commission, the Agency took up its core responsibilities from 1 December
2012. At that opportunity, the third Management Board took place in Tallinn on 29-30 November, in the presence of Mr. Krum Garkov, the Executive Director of
eu-LISA since 1 November 2012. The first meeting of the SIS II advisory
group took place on 6-7 June 2012. The next meeting will take place in January
2013. The eu-LISA will take up its
responsibilities as regards the operational management of SIS II once the
system is brought into operation. 3.2.2. SIS II Transition The coaching by the Main Development
Contractor of the C.SIS in the operational management of the SIS II is on-going
with a view to handing over the SIS II production environment to
C.SIS/eu-LISA in the first half of 2013. The draft operational handbook has
been continuously updated with a view to be completed in cooperation with
Member States by January 2013. According to the plan outlined by eu-LISA, a
hand-over of operational management, as well as of the governance aspects of
operations carried out by the Commission, to eu-LISA will consist of three
phases and will be completed by May 2013. 3.3. Project management 3.3.1. Global Programme Management
Board (GPMB) The GPMB
continued to provide advice on a variety of Central System-related issues and
has further enhanced consistency between central and national SIS II projects. In
this reporting period, the regular meetings of the Member State holding the
rotating presidency of the Council, the Commission, several Member States'
experts (including one newly nominated by Estonia) and the Commission's main
contractors focused in particular on the the Comprehensive test and the
solution to the setback encountered in Finland. The representatives of the
Finnish national project management team participated in the GPMB sessions on an
ad hoc basis. Twenty-three plenary GPMB meetings took
place during the period covered by this report. 3.3.2. SIS-VIS Committee (SIS II) Several key documents on migration and
testing were approved at the five meetings of the SIS-VIS Committee on SIS II
technical matters in the period July – December 2012. In addition to regular SIS-VIS Committee
meetings, working groups of the Committee and workshops, involving Member
States' experts, are organised to discuss detailed technical issues. These
meetings generally focus on issues arising from specific project deliverables: –
The Test Advisory Group (TAG), provides the
SIS-VIS Committee with an opinion on issues related to the organisation,
implementation and interpretation of tests. This group held eleven meetings in
the reporting period. –
The Change Management Board (CMB), provides
advice on classification, qualification and the potential impact of the
implementation of reported Change Requests. When the technical requirements for
the SIS II application were reviewed in 2010, it was made clear that the
specifications would be frozen untill entry-into-operation of the SIS II
system. This working group, which also reports to the SIS-VIS Committee, was
therefore not formally convened in 2011. However, in 2012, Member States and the Commission reviewed and updated the CMB rules of procedure to allow
Member States to assess whether the planned changes in their national systems
are in compliance with the Central System. Five meetings of this working group
took place in 2012. –
The Migration Experts Group (MEG) is an ad-hoc
group of Member States' experts, the Commission project team members, the
Operator of the system after go-live and the main contractor. This expert group
has been used in order to prepare in detail and folow up the execution of the
different migration rehearsals. Eleven meetings took place during the reporting
period. 3.3.3. National planning and
coordination The Member States' national project managers
(NPM) meetings are organised regularly by the Commission to allow the detailed
exchange of information on all activities with relevance to the global project
status. Also in this reporting period, it dealt in particular with the global
schedule, testing, migration, the transition to the SIS II,the SIS II
operational handbook and the SIS II Task Force reports. During this reporting
period, five NPM meetings took place. 3.3.4. Council The Commission has continued to keep all
relevant Council bodies regularly informed about the SIS II project
implementation, including the timetable and budgetary aspects. In an overall
constructive atmosphere, a number of technical, legal and budgetary issues in
relation to central project have been clarified at preparatory levels. Wherever
necessary, the Commission has, in addition to the meetings, communicated with
the Member States concerned via other channels, such as bilateral letters. The
Commission presented a SIS II state of play at each of the three JHA Councils
held under the Cypriot rotating presidency of the Council. The Commission circulates a weekly flash
report, summarising technical developments, to colleagues involved in the
project at national level. 3.3.5. European Parliament The European Parliament continued to be
supportive to the SIS II and it has lifted the reserve of part of the credits
for the SIS II project in the 2012 EU General Budget. In order to maintain complete transparency,
the Commission keeps the European Parliament informed on the whole range of
aspects of SIS II development beyond the obligatory reports stemming from legal
instruments and Council conclusions. In addition to the provision of a SIS II
project update to the LIBE Committee, the European Parliament has been informed
about the latest state of play of SIS II at the plenary session of 19-22
November 2012 at the occasion of the debate on the proposed recast of the
migration instrument. 3.3.6. Risk management The Commission closely monitors the risks in the SIS II project with
the support of its quality assurance contractor. For each identified risk, a
mitigation plan is established specifying the mitigation measures to be taken.
The list of identified risks is updated on a weekly basis and is discussed with
the Global Programme Management Board every month. The main risks during the reporting period were the following: ·
the readiness of the Member States (end-user
applications) and notably the timely implementation of "Plan B" in Finland; ·
the limited time remaining for contingency in the
migration schedule. 3.3.7. SIS II information campaign According to the SIS II legal basis the Commission shall, in
cooperation with the national data protection authorities and the European Data
Protection Supervisor, accompany the start of operation of SIS II with an
information campaign informing the public about its objectives, the data
stored, the authorities having access and the rights of persons.[11] The preparation of the campaign has been accelerated in September
2012. The Commission invited each Member State to designate a contact persons
in charge of the campaign coordination on national level and involved the
national data protection authorites and the European Data Protection Supervisor
as well. Building on the previous cooperation with the Member States, the
Commission concluded the contracts for the main deliverables (a leaflet, poster
and a short video animation). Member States will be responsible for disseminating this information
materials according to their needs (at border crossings, police stations,
consulates etc.). 4. Priorities for the next
reporting period During the next reporting period, there will be nine principal areas
of activity: ·
the completion by the end of Januray 2013 of the
Comprehensive test by those five Member States that have to rerun the test, ·
the completion by the beginning of February 2013
of the SIRENE functional tests campaign (within the responsibility of the
Member States), ·
the Member States' notification of their legal
and technical readiness to process SIS II data and exchange supplementary
information, ·
the adoption before the entry into operation of
SIS II of an updated Commission Implementing Decision on the SIRENE Manual and
other implementing measures for SIS II, ·
the Live Data Migration from SIS 1+ to SIS II
which is scheduled to take place between 22 January and 27 March 2013, ·
the entry into operation of SIS II (provisionally
scheduled for 27 March 2013 and subject to further decision on the final date
by the Council) ·
the 30 days Intensive Monitoring Period following
the entry into operation of SIS II ·
the launch of the SIS II information campaign, ·
the hand over of the SIS II to eu-LISA. 5. Conclusion Thanks to the
goal-oriented approach of all stakeholders, the challenges encountered during
this reporting period were addressed successfully, allowing the SIS II project
to remain on track for the planned go-live at the end of the first quarter of
2013. The expected
completion of the Comprehensive test, at the start of 2013, will mark an end to
the series of test campaigns aiming at reaching the maturity of the entire
system. Therefore, the
SIS II project is now about to reach its final stage, that is the actual
migration of data between SIS 1+ and SIS II. The ultimate and timely transition
to SIS II, including the adoption of a decision on the switchover date,
represents the over-riding priority for the following reporting period (January
– June 2013).
