EU-Lisa focuses on information exchange & interoperability

Information exchange and interoperability of large scale IT systems in the area of European Union Home Affairs were the priority topics of the talks held between EU-lisa Executive Director Krum Garkov and Estonian Minister Andres Anvelt on 24 March in Tallinn.

The "Communication on Stronger and Smarter Information Systems on Borders and Security", issued by the European Commission on 6 April 2016, sets out eu-LISA's enhanced role in interoperability of the existing systems to increase their efficiency. Following the interim report of the Commission in particular, eu-LISA is now focusing on following interoperability dimensions: feasibility of creating the European Search Portal, exploring the technical and operational aspects of the implementation of shared biometric matching service, establishment of a data warehouse with anonymised data as well as exploring the necessity and technical feasibility of the common data repository.

Mr Garkov noted that the efficiency and added-value provided to citizens and businesses through the current digital transformation relies more than ever on available data and information. Therefore, information sharing and creating synergies between the policy domains in Justice and Home Affairs are of the utmost importance to the safety and security of Europe and beyond.
