Division 2.12.2 Operational rules

Links between alerts do not require special procedures for the exchange of supplementary information. Nevertheless the following principles shall be observed:

In case there is a hit on two or more interlinked alerts, the SIRENE Bureau of the executing Member State shall send a G form for each of them.

No forms shall be sent on alerts which, although linked to an alert on which there was a hit, were not respectively the object of the hit. This rule shall not apply in the case when a linked alert for which there was no hit is an alert for arrest or for a missing person (protection). In this case the communication of the discovery of the linked alert shall be carried out using an M form.
