Division 2.1 Multiple alerts (Article 107)

Several alerts issued by different countries for the same subjects may sometimes occur. It is essential that this does not cause confusion to end-users, and that they are clear as to the measures which must be taken when seeking to enter an alert. Various procedures shall therefore be established for detecting multiple alerts and a priority mechanism shall also be established for entering them into the SIS.

This calls for:

• checks before entering an alert, in order to determine whether the subject is already in the SIS,

• consultation with the other Member States, when the entry of an alert will cause multiple alerts that are incompatible.
