The Commission has no access to the data in the Schengen Information System and therefore cannot check if a person is subject of an alert. The Commission also cannot enter, correct or delete data contained in the Schengen Information System.

Pursuant to Article 26(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1862[1], alerts on persons wanted for arrest for surrender purposes on the basis of a European arrest warrant (EAW) shall be entered at the request of the judicial authority of the Member State that issued the EAW.

Pursuant to Article 9(2) of Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA[2] the decision to issue or not to issue an alert for the requested person in the Schengen Information System lays with the issuing judicial authority.
