By way of derogation from paragraph 2 of this Article, where a search is launched in the EES pursuant to Article 23(2) or (4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226, the competent border authority may search the VIS without making use of the interoperability with the EES, where specific circumstances so require, in particular, where it is more appropriate, due to the specific situation of a third-country national, to search using the data referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 of this Article, or where it is technically impossible, on a temporary basis, to consult the EES data or in the event of a failure of the EES.
De mhaolú ar mhír 2 den Airteagal seo, i gcás ina seoltar cuardach in EES de bhun Airteagal 23(2) nó (4) de Rialachán (AE) 2017/2226, féadfaidh an t-údarás inniúil teorann cuardach a dhéanamh in VIS ach gan idir-oibritheacht le EES a úsáid, i gcás ina bhfágann cúinsí ar leith gur mar sin is gá, go háirithe, nuair a fhágann cúinsí sonracha náisiúnaigh tríú tír gur iomchuí cuardach a dhéanamh agus leas á bhaint as na sonraí dá dtagraítear i bpointe (b) de mhír 1 den Airteagal seo, nó i gcás nach indéanta go teicniúil sonraí EES a cheadú, ar bhonn seladach, nó i gcás ina dteipeann ar EES.
