Answer to a written question – Attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines – E-000623/2025(ASW)

This matter concerns issues of implementing EU law, which does not fall in principle within the competence of the Council. The Council does not have access to the Schengen Information System (SIS), which is a highly secure and protected database exclusively accessible to authorised users within competent authorities, such as the police and the border guard. These authorities are the sole responsible for data processing in the SIS, including entering and consulting alerts on persons.
