Minister of Justice, Mrs Winnie Sorgdrager, has promised parliament that she will introduce significant improvements in the operation of the Dutch part of the Schengen Information System (National SIS). The Algemene Rekenkamer (General Accounting Office) had earlier criticised the system, because the various NSIS users in the country entered their data in many different ways, if at all. At Schiphol national airport, only 65% of the non-Schengen travellers appeared to be checked through the SIS databank, and the situation in the sea harbours was reported to be even worse. New nation-wide guidelines have been introduced to try and ensure uniform data-entry procedures, and a commission has been charged with investigating the situation at the borders.

Our work is only possible with your support.
