It uses the data from your ME saved game to determine the course of action in ME2. So, if you've 2 saves from 2 run-throughs with very diverging decisions, it'll depend on which one you decide to import into the new game.
EDIT - from wiki:
quote:
Casey Hudson, Project Director for BioWare, and Greg Zeschuk, BioWare co-founder, as well as various developers on the official Mass Effect message boards, stated that players should keep their Mass Effect save-files, because decisions made by the player in the first game have influences on their character in the sequel. Each completed game is viewable by the player when deciding which save to import into Mass Effect 2, and a summary of some of the key decisions made during that game is shown to help the player make sure they import the save they mean to.
Players who have not played the first Mass Effect start a new character in Mass Effect 2, and are brought up to speed on the story elements that have taken place thus far in the series. Hudson also stated that characters from the previous game make a return, provided that they were not killed.
When transferring a file from the first Mass Effect, players have the option to change their class to a different one. For example, if the player wanted to play as an Engineer instead of an Infiltrator, the player may change their character's class while still importing the choices made in the first game. In addition, there is a story explanation as to how the character's abilities have changed.
Players receive bonuses for importing save games; for example, importing a level 60 Shepard provides the player with one hundred thousand credits, ten thousand of each resource, bonus paragon and renegade points, and allows them to start at Level 5. Additionally, the achievement Long Service Medal requires the player to beat the game twice; however, the player can also get the achievement for completing it once with an imported Shepard
