Home Department written question – answered at on 30 November 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many times UK authorities have accessed the European Criminal Records Information System in each year since its inception; and if she will make a statement.
holding answer
UK authorities cannot access the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) because it has not yet been implemented. When implemented ECRIS will not be a database of the criminal records of EU nationals but will instead be a secure, standardised and computerised exchange system which allows individual member states to exchange criminal conviction information in a uniform, electronic and easily computer translatable way.
ECRIS is due to be implemented by all member states in April 2012.
