All the components of the ‘Interoperability Agenda’ are due to be implemented by the end of 2023, by which time the European Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice is to have all the central ‘interoperability components’ (European Search Portal (ESP), Shared Biometric Matching Service (sBMS), Common Identity Repository (CIR), Multiple-Identity Detector (MID), Central Repository for Reporting and Statistics (CRRS)) operational.

1. Can Eu-LISA meet the launch schedule for the ‘interoperability agenda’, and when will the individual components (ESP, sBMS, CIR, MID, CRRS) be available for initial testing?

2. What contracts have already been awarded for individual ‘interoperability components’, and who has been chosen as the main contractor?

3. Which companies are to implement the Entry/Exit System and the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), and which products will be installed for this purpose?
