New SIS Alerts for Vulnerable Persons and Children
Summary
The Czech UOOU published an informational notice on the new version of the Schengen Information System (SIS), which introduces new alert categories for vulnerable persons and children at risk of kidnapping. The recast SIS also adds alerts for the return of illegally staying third-country nationals and improved identification tools for non-EU nationals. The notice directs readers to the Czech and European Commission websites for further information.
“The new version of SIS was designed to make Schengen area even more secure and to provide the member states with further effective means of cooperation.”
What changed
The recast Schengen Information System introduces new categories of alerts related to vulnerable persons and children in danger of being kidnapped, serving as tools to protect children from being taken to third countries. The system also introduces new alerts for the return of illegally staying third-country nationals and improved identification tools for non-EU nationals.
Member state authorities and law enforcement agencies working within the Schengen area should be aware of the expanded alert categories. Entities processing personal data through SIS queries should review their procedures to ensure compliance with data protection requirements when accessing or entering alerts related to vulnerable persons and children.

The new version of SIS was designed to make Schengen area even more secure and to provide the member states with further effective means of cooperation. One of the improvements that the recast version of SIS brings are new categories of alerts that can be entered into the system. These new categories include alerts related to vulnerable persons and alerts related to children who are in danger of being kidnapped. These new alerts therefore serve as means to protect children from getting kidnapped and taken away to third countries. In order to help member states in their fight against illegal immigration, the recast version of SIS also introduces new alerts on return of illegally staying third-country nationals and brings improved tools to better identify non-EU nationals.
