Since taking up its responsibilities on 1 December 2012, the Agency took over the tasks conferred on the Management Authority in relation to the VIS by Regulation (EC) No 767/2008 and Council Decision 2008/633/JHA.
Ó chuaigh sí i mbun oibre an 1 Nollaig 2012, ghabh an Ghníomhaireacht uirthi féin na cúraimí i ndáil le VIS a tugadh don Údarás Bainistíochta le Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 767/2008 agus le Cinneadh 2008/633/CGB ón gComhairle.
