Member states implementing the Prüm Decisions on key types of data

According to Interpol’s website, currently, the SLTD contains more than 68 million records from 174 countries. In November 2015, Interpol had records on around 12 000 suspects of terrorist offences and on around 5 000 suspected foreign terrorist fighters. Between January and September 2016, the database was searched 1.2 billion times, which resulted in more than 115 000 positive responses. However, member countries do not use the database evenly. As reported by the ECTC in March 2016, the number of searches in the SLTD by the authorities of EU Member States increased from 280 million to 360 million between 2014 and 2015. At the time, not all EU Member States were connected to the SLTD.
