I move amendment No. 8:


In page 8, subsection (1), line 34, after ?supplemented,? to insert ?or deleted,?.
This amendment is to ensure clarification of the effect of the section in order that it would be clear legislatively that where the Europol information system had incorrect information, it would not only be the case that it could be supplemented but also could be deleted. This is particularly important where it is the case that there is information held by Europol, for example, on a prior suspect who has since turned out to be innocent. However, the former part refers to his or her competency to take such action, whereas the subsection which refers to deletion is effectively concerned with the actions that can be taken on foot of this.
