(40) In the fight against terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences and given the globalisation of criminal networks, it is imperative that designated authorities responsible for the prevention, detection or investigation of terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences (‘designated authorities’) have the necessary information to perform their tasks effectively. Access to data contained in the VIS for such purposes has already proven effective in helping investigators to make substantial progress in cases related to trafficking in human beings, terrorism or drug trafficking. VIS does not contain data on visa-exempt third-country nationals.
