Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Deplores the fact that internal border controls are continuing to be introduced by some Member States as a unilateral response to new challenges, before they have given proper consideration to the common European interest in maintaining Schengen as an area without internal border controls, which has a negative effect on the free movement of goods, capital, services, and labour in the Union; underlines in this context the particularly difficult situation of cross- border workers ; reiterates its call on the Commission to exercise appropriate scrutiny over the application of the Schengen acquis, including through the use of infringement procedures, and underlines the urgent need to enhance mutual trust and cooperation among the Schengen states and appropriate governance for the Schengen area;
Amendment 171 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Considers that the Schengen Borders Code, in particular as regards rules on internal border controls, is no longer fit for purpose and requires an urgent and meaningful reform in order to strengthen mutual trust and solidarity, and to safeguard the integrity and full restoration of the Schengen area; stresses that the reintroduction of internal border controls should only ever be a measure of last resort, for a limited period of time, and to the extent that the controls are necessary and proportionate to the identified serious threat, while maintaining a distinction between different legal bases and considering effects it might have on the border regions inside the Union; considers that on each occasion that border controls are prolonged by a Member State, additional safeguards should apply and that, in all circumstances, such measures should be withdrawn as soon as the underlying grounds for them cease to exist;
