Update
John Rice provided an update regarding the progress of Schengen. The ‘go live’ date for

submitted to limit the Schengen stolen vehicles that are included within the ANPR pool to 3
months of data in line with UK stolen vehicles. If this is not done the level of impact on UK
ANPR systems would be excessive. Details of connection requirements will be advised

not be implemented in current ANPR systems and may only be linked to the NAS.
