Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether data processed by the Secure Information Exchange Network Application system is owned by Europol.

The Secure Information Exchange Network Application (SIENA) is a Europol owned communication platform which enables Member States, and third countries that have an agreement with Europol, to share their own data on a bilateral and multilateral basis. Users of the platform can choose whether or not to share that data with Europol and retain ownership of all of their data which is exchanged using SIENA .
