(1) The Communication of the Commission of 13 February 2008 entitled 'preparing the next steps in border management in the European Union'20 outlined the need, as part of the European integrated border management strategy, to establish an Entry/Exit System (EES) which registers electronically the time and place of entry and exit of third country nationals admitted for a short stay to the Schengen areaterritory of the EU Member States and which calculates the duration of their authorised stay. _________________ 20 COM (2008) 69 final

(8) The EES should apply to third- country nationals admitted for a short stay to the Schengen areaterritory of the Member States, regardless of whether or not they apply the Schengen acquis in full. It should also apply to third country nationals whose entry for a short stay has been refused.
Amendment 182 #
(8a) For the purpose of verifying compliance with the limit of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period for intended stays on the territory of the Member States, the automated calculator included in the EES should take into account all the stays on the basis of short stay visas or on the basis of a touring visa, including short stay visas issued by a Member State not yet fully applying the Schengen acquis, also taking into account stays in a Member State not yet fully applying the Schengen acquis.

(26) A five year data retention period is necessary to allow the border guard performing the necessary risk analysis requested by the Schengen Borders Code before authorising a traveller entering the Schengen areaEU Member States. The processing of visa application in consular posts requires also analysing the travel history of the applicant to assess the use of previous visas and the respect of the conditions of stay. The abandoning of passport stamping will be compensated by a consultation of the EES. The travel history available in the system should therefore cover a period of time which is sufficient for the purpose of visa issuance. The five year data retention period will reduce the re-enrolment frequency and will be beneficial for all travellers as the average border crossing time will decrease as will do the waiting time at border crossing points. Even for a traveller entering only once in the Schengen areaterritory of the European Union, the fact that other travellers being already registered in the EES will not have to re-enrol will reduce the waiting time at border. This data retention period will also be necessary to allow for facilitation for the border crossing by using process accelerators and self-service systems. Such facilitation is dependent of the data registered in the system. A shorter data retention period would have a negative impact on the duration of border controls. A shorter data retention period would also reduce the group of travellers that can benefit of such facilitation and thereby undermine the stated objective of EES to facilitate border crossing.

(43) This Regulation establishing the EES replaces the obligation to stamp passports of third country nationals which is applicable by all acceding Member States. Stays in Member States which are not yet fully applying the Schengen acquis in accordance with their respective Acts of Accession should not be taken into account in the calculation of the duration of the authorised stay in the Schengen area. Such Member States should register in the EES the stay of third country nationals but the automated calculator in the system should not compute it as part of the authorised length of stay.
Amendment 352 #

The EES shall not be introduced at internal borders between Member States not yet applying the Schengen acquis in full and Member States applying the Schengen acquis in full.
