"The SIS is an information system that allows the competent authorities in the Member States to obtain information regarding certain categories of persons and property. It is thus a vital factor in the smooth running of the area of security, freedom and justice. It contributes to the implementation of the provisions on the free movement of persons (Title IV of the Treaty) and to judicial cooperation in criminal matters and police cooperation (Title VI of the Treaty). The current SIS was designed to cope with 18 States (the 15 Member States, Iceland, Norway, and one in reserve). Its technology is clearly outdated and new development possibilities should therefore be studied.

The setting-up of the second-generation SIS is an absolute prerequisite for the involvement of the new Member States in the area without internal frontiers. Following the Council meeting on 28 and 29 May 2001 which confirmed that priority must be given to developing SIS II by 2006, the Commission agreed to be responsible for financing and developing the system (by virtue of its responsibility for implementing the Community budget). However, the Commission points out that the project will be developed in close cooperation with the Member States, the applicant countries, the Council, the European Parliament and the Joint Supervisory Authority (JSA)."
