The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) - Budapest, 9-10 June 2011

The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS):

State of play and experiences to date in EU Member States

Budapest, 9-10 June 2011


With financial support from the Criminal Justice Programme of the European Union European Commission - Directorate-General Justice

The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) is a decentralised information technology system for the exchange of information extracted from criminal records between EU Member States. It sets out the elements of a standardised format for an electronic exchange as well as general and technical implementing aspects of the information exchange. The Council Decision 2009/316/JHA on the establishment of the ECRIS was adopted by the Council in April 2009 and by 7 April 2012 EU Member States must take the necessary steps to comply with it.

The seminar will debate architecture, functionality and state of play of ECRIS, the obligations of the Member State of the person’s nationality including storing and updating the information transmitted. It will offer a forum for sharing practical experiences already gained and discussing the new EU initiatives with particular reference to their likely impact on fundamental rights.
