Informative article. The legal & technical bit needs some grammar checking though. Little difficult to read. Any offers?

I agree that the article is indeed very informative but the critics towards the system have been bypassed too lightly. For instance, in terms of dna fingerprints it should be noted that this bit is included in the Prüm Convention signed by seven member states (now more that seven countries take part in it) in the summer 2005 to enhance the co-operation. And, although the Prüm Convention does not have its legal bases in EU treaties but is an multilateral agreement among some of the member states, it shows the direction of the development.

[edit] Readability

I've tagged this article for cleanup because it appears to have been written by someone who's first language is not English (nothing wrong with that, just needs some edits for readability!) and in places doesn't read very well. Please don't remove the template until a copyedit has been done. 79.68.202.189 (talk) 05:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

For my part I don't have any substantial problems with readability. The text is available on a number of sites, some of which seem to be official EU sites although it isn't clear who is quoting whom. In other words, are these sites quouting Wikipedia or is this an official text put on Wikipedia. But the lack of any substantial mention of the various critisms related to Schengen and the Schengen Information System is a problem I think. / HH
