The regulation introduces a new category of alerts that can be issued exclusively by Europol within the SIS.
These alerts are specifically targeted at third-country nationals suspected of or convicted of serious criminal offenses.
Europol is required to conduct a detailed individual assessment for every case to ensure the information is accurate and reliable.
Member States retain the right to object to an alert being applied within their territory by adding a specific flag.
