Key Points
- The European Commission upgraded the Schengen Information
System on 6 March 2023
- The Schengen Information System is intended to serve as the
foundation for a number of entry-tracking systems for the European
Union
Overview
The European Commission introduced the upgraded version of its Schengen
Information system (SIS) on 6 March 2023. The new
features of SIS will include new categories of alerts and biometric
data, such as palm prints, fingermarks and DNA records for missing
persons. SIS will serve as the foundation for both
the EU's Entry-Exit System
(EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorization
System (ETIAS), which are expected to launch in early
2024.
What are the Changes?
The European Commission introduced additional security features
as part of the SIS. According to the announcement, SIS is the
largest information-sharing system for security and border
management in Europe. Through the system, officials of EU countries
will be able to access information on travelers throughout the
region better.
Looking Ahead

Commission's website and
