The Belgian Schengen Commission, SIRENE (Supplementary Information Requests at the National Entries), has said that SIRENE magistrates should be appointed in the major juridical districts to control requests from other countries for action to be taken against the requesting country's nationals. This is to prevent abuse of people's legal rights and stems from the dispute between Belgium and Spain over the extradition of suspected ETA activists. The Director of the Belgian SIRENE is Mr Leo Debruyn from the Police Judiciaire, he was formerly responsible for terrorism and fraud. The SIRENE system provides national contact points in each of the Schengen countries providing data to the computerised Schengen Information System (SIS).
