Division 3.7.1 Informing the Member States if an alert is matched

For the general procedure see Section 2.2.1.

In addition, the following procedure shall apply:

1. (a)

   a hit on an individual on which an Article 95 alert has been issued shall always be communicated to the SIRENE bureau of the issuing Member State. Moreover, after sending the G form, the hit shall also be communicated, where appropriate, by telephone;

2. (b)

   the authority competent for receiving the EAW or extradition request, its full communication contacts (postal address, phone and, if available, fax and e-mail), reference number (if available), competent person (if available), requested language, time limit for and form of delivery shall be provided in field 091 of the G form;

3. (c)

   a Member State which had previously indicated a wish to issue an alert on a person already the subject of an alert shall be informed of any hits on the original alert by the Member State that actually issued that alert;

4. (d)

   C.SIS automatically communicates the deletion of an alert to all Member States. It is therefore possible for a Member State to consider entering an alert, which was previously considered incompatible with an alert which has now been deleted.
