Name Description
Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD)

Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD): A Interpol database containing lost, stolen and revoked travel documents – such as passports, identity cards, visas and UN laissez-passer– and also stolen blank travel documents included in a database that helps police to catch terrorists and criminals who often use fraudulent travel documents to cross borders.

Stopover

The competent authorities must not conduct entry or exit checks:

  • In the context of organised touristic excursions or daytrips during a stopover at a Schengen port;
  • On passengers remaining on board the cruise ship during a stopover at a Schengen port.
Subsequent entry

After the creation of the third-country national’s individual file in the EES and the procedures for his/her first entry, and on each subsequent entry, the border authority shall enter an entry record for each entry. The entry record shall be linked to the individual file in the EES.

Subsequent exit

After the creation of the third-country national’s individual file in the EES, and on each subsequent exit, the border authority shall enter an exit record for each exit. The exit record shall be linked to the individual file in the EES.

summons

An order to appear before a judge or magistrate, or the writ containing such an order.

Supervision

Monitoring and controlling others activities - e.g. supervision of the enrolment of data by the third-country national, using a self-service system, by the border guard.

Supervision of a border guard

The Self-Service Systems (SSS) shall be operated under the supervision of a border guard, who shall be in charge of detecting any inappropriate, fraudulent or abnormal use of the same. However, surveillance with Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras would be sufficient (for self-service system, e-gate, or both). Therefore, a border guard should be in the proximity of the camera in order to be able to intervene, in a reasonable time, if necessary.

Supervisory authorities

One or more independent public authorities in a Member State that is/are responsible for monitoring the application of the GDPR on and from the national territory, in order to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons in relation to processing and to facilitate the free flow of personal data within the Union.

supplementary information exchange

Supplementary information must always be exchanged between SIRENE Bureaux in a written format, using standardised SIRENE forms or free text messages. If an urgent response is required, communication may also be made by telephone, in addition to the written exchange of supplementary information. 

surrounding links

These are the links that connect the same identity group to at least two other identity groups in different EU information systems that are themselves also linked to one another creating a closed series of links in the form of a geometrical shape (e.g. triangle, rectangle). This means that the relation between those linked identity groups are connected to one another. If some of them are considered the same (and connected by white links), that means that it is impossible to also have a difference between them (connected by a green link). When a new link closes the series, inconsistencies might become apparent and will need to be resolved.
