for an updated information about the subject.
It has applied since 17 January 2007.
EU countries are required to assist one another in the implementation of Council Directive 1999/37/EC on the registration documents for vehicles. They may exchange information to check a vehicle’s legal status in the country in which it was previously registered.
Regulation (EC) No 1987/2006 and Decision 2007/533/JHA concerning the establishment, operation and use of SIS II (SIS II Regulation and Decision) replaced all but one article of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985. That article concerns access to the Schengen Information System by the authorities and services in the EU countries responsible for issuing registration certificates for vehicles. This third act completes the SIS II legal framework, ensuring that EU countries’ vehicle registration services have access to SIS II once operational.
For more information, see:
Regulation (EC) No 1986/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 regarding access to the Second Generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) by the services in the Member States responsible for issuing vehicle registration certificates (OJ L 381, 28.12.2006, pp. 1-3)
Subsequent amendments to Regulation (EC) No 1986/2006 have been incorporated into the basic text. This consolidated version is of documentary value only.
