4.3 The Process of Exchange of Information<br />
As stated above, SIRENE comes into the picture usually when there is a positive<br />
hit in SIS and where supplementary information regarding the hit is requi<strong>red</strong>.<br />
In such circumstances, a request for information is made to SIRENE.<br />
In principle, the request is made to the SIRENE office and not to a particular<br />
person. Since the SIRENE office operates 24 hours a day, it is the officers on<br />
duty who act when a request is made.<br />
