SIRENE Bureau – what is it?

SIRENE Bureau (Supplementary Information REquest at the National Entries) is an authority established on the basis of Article 108 of the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement in each state being a party to the said Convention as an authority which should have central responsibility for its national section of the Schengen Information System. Pursuant to Article 108 (2) of the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement the SIRENE Bureau is the only authority legitimated to enter data to the Schengen Information System. Furthermore, according to Article 94 (4) of the Schengen Convention the basic function of SIRENE Bureaux is the exchange of additional information necessary in connection with the alerts referring to persons and objects issued into the Schengen Information System.

Tasks performed by the SIRENE Bureaux cover three areas: exchange of information on alerts in the Schengen Information System, following specific provisions of the Schengen Convention and serving as a liaison point between national services and international authorities responsible for public security (e. g. Interpol).

Whereas the task covered by the second and third area (including the exchange of personal data on the basis of Articles 39 and 46 of the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement) may be regarded as supplementary areas of intervention of the SIRENE Bureaux, the tasks carried out in connection with the alerts issued in the Schengen Information System should be recognised as main tasks.

Those tasks comprise:
  1. the exchange of information prior to an alert referred to in Article 95 and 99 of the Schengen Convention,
  2. the exchange of information whilst entering an alert referred to in Article 95 of the Schengen Convention,
  3. the exchange of information for multiple alerts (Article 107 of the Schengen Convention),
  4. the exchange of information when adding a flag (Articles 94, 95 and 99 of the Schengen Convention),
  5. the exchange of information after a hit (Articles 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 ad 100 of the Schengen Convention),
  6. the exchange of information for aliens not to be granted entry (Articles 5, 25 and 96 of the Schengen Convention),
  7. the exchange of information when the procedures following a hit on an alert cannot be followed (Article 104(3) of the Schengen Convention),
  8. the exchange of information if the original objective is changed (Article 102(3) of the Schengen Convention),
  9. the exchange of information if data are found to be legally or factually flawed (Article 106 of the Schengen Convention) and
  10. the exchange of information on the right to access and rectify data (Articles 109 and 110 of the Schengen Convention).
