SCHENGEN INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE MALTA POLICE FORCE

OVER 2 MILLION EUROS TO THE GPI GROUP

Trento, 10 January

The Gpi Group, in a consortium formed with the Maltese company Ptl, has been awarded the tender for the maintenance of the Schengen Information System of the Malta Police Force. For Gpi this is an order worth over 2 million euros, with a duration of 5 years.

The consortium won the tender for 5.44 million euros, of which 2.12 million euros pertaining to Gpi for the supply of software and related maintenance, and the remainder pertaining to Ptl for the supply of hardware and basic software.

The European area of free circulation without borders (and without passports), also known as the "Schengen area" is made up of 22 EU Member States and 4 non-EU countries and is a pillar of the European Community project. Within the Schengen area people can move freely, and it is therefore vital to control access from the external borders through internal communication flows between Schengen countries and external communication flows with non- Schengen countries.

The complex application structure of the SIS (Schengen Information System) consists of a local information system that is constantly aligned with the central system through a private computer network linking all Member States, allowing the competent authorities to consult all information relating to people travelling within the European Union, such as details relating to the carrying of weapons, pending charges, international arrest warrants, persons believed to be missing, stolen documents and so on.

The SIS and its 24-hour application maintenance for the island of Malta are fully managed by Gpi.
