Abstract

In May 2019, the elections to the European Parliament and the political consequences of the new composition of the Parliament, as well as the never-ending Brexit debate, in which there seems to be a new dramatic turn every week, received a lot of media attention. So, it is perhaps not surprising that two regulations adopted by the Council on 20 May 2019 have so far gone almost unnoticed. However, this is completely unjustified, as they will have far-reaching consequences. Specifically, the chapter concerns regulations 2019/817 and 2019/818, establishing a framework for the interoperability (i.e. linkage) between EU information systems in the field of borders and visa and in the area of freedom, security, and justice. The regulations are part of the EU's idea to create smart borders (i.e., borders that can be better and more easily controlled by using new digital systems). This chapter critically analyses the establishment of the individual databases and their interoperability, with a particular focus on data protection issues that result from them.
