- to submit the CM draft Regulations and annotations to the meetings of the Committee on processing of draft legal acts.
As a result of project implementation:
- the data on entry bans and returned foreigners will be collected into a single information system, ensuring quality and topicality of data;
-
ability to rapidly enter the initial data on foreigners, such as issue of detention or return decision will be ensured;
-
information flow will be speeded up (SBG will be able to enter return decisions and, therefore, there is no need to send the paper documents to OCMA);
-
OCMA and SBG will have access to information on the foreigners stated and the decisions taken by both authorities;
- a common statistical source in the field of return for both authorities will be established;
-
volume of information to be included in the information system will be in compliance with the regulations of the Republic of Latvia;
-
the unified OCMA Entry Ban Subsystem and SBG Illegal Immigration Register will open up the possibility for complementing/changing new information system in accordance with OCMA and SBG employees required functionality;
- the common information system will be easier and cheaper to maintain as it requires less human, time, and technical resources.
It is envisaged that the developed system will be a subsystem of maintained Common Migration Information System (CMIS), which will have a direct link with the other CMIS subsystems, as well as with information systems of other authorities.
The project was co-financed by the European Union
