Immigration liaison officers designated and deployed to third countries by the competent authorities of the Member States should be connected to and use SIENA in order to share relevant information on migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings with Europol directly or indirectly via their national competent authorities. If a connection to SIENA is not possible due to legal, organisational or technical reasons, immigration liaison officers designated and deployed by the competent authorities of the Member States should share relevant information with Europol via a national competent authority through other secure channels. Immigration liaison officers designated and deployed by national authorities other than the competent authorities of the Member States should share relevant information with a national competent authority, with a view to providing that information to Europol.
