1.Where confusion may arise between the person actually intended as the subject of an alert and a person whose identity has been misused, the Member State which entered the alert shall, subject to that person's explicit consent, add data relating to the latter to the alert in order to avoid the negative consequences of misidentification.

(a)to allow the competent authority to distinguish the person whose identity has been misused from the person actually intended as the subject of the alert;

3.For the purpose of this Article, no more than the following personal data may be entered and further processed in SIS II:
