Report (pdf) In a detailed opinion on the Commission proposals the JSA has criticised the planned "open-ended legal structure", suggesting it is "sometimes be unclear what is [to be] regulated by which instrument." Neither is the JSB clear what exactly the purpose of SIS II is, meaning "the legal basis fails to comply with one of the key principles of data protection; namely, that the purpose of processing must be specified and explicit". It is also unclear "from the proposals who will be responsible for the SIS II" and what roles there will be for European and national data protection supervisors.
