4 unchanged paragraphs
With this Regulation, the Commission sought to introduce a self-standing amendment of Regulation 2019/816 to provide for access rights in view of the proposed Screening Regulation and to amend Regulation (EU) 2019/818 due to differing legal basis and variable geometry.
Since the appointment of the Rapporteur on 22 March 2021, several exchanges of views took place, including meetings with the shadow Rapporteurs, as well as meetings with external stakeholders.
The Rapporteur shares the overall objective of the Commission to allow for the use of the Common Identity Repository (CIR) and European Criminal Records Information System for third country nationals (‘ECRIS-TCN’) during the Screening. However, the Rapporteur is not convinced that the provisions granting blanket access rights to the competent authorities are necessary to allow for the screening to be carried out effectively.
The Rapporteur regrets that the Commission did not produce an impact assessment for the Screening proposal and this subsequent proposal. The Rapporteur would like to express her gratitude to the European Parliamentary Research Service Ex-Ante Impact Assessment Unit and the respective contractors for the work on the horizontal substitute impact assessment on the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. The Rapporteur would also like to express her gratitude to the authors of the study by the European Parliament Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs.
