5 THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE: PROCESSES 5

6 Border Control in the Schengen space o Abolition of controls at internal borders o Common rules and procedures in the field of visas, asylum applications and border controls o Legal Basis: Schengen Borders Code 6

7 The Schengen Borders Code Recital 17 Member States should ensure that control procedures at external borders do not constitute a major barrier to trade and social and cultural interchange. To that end, they should deploy appropriate numbers of staff and resources. Article 15 Staff and resources for border control Member States shall deploy appropriate staff and resources in sufficient numbers to carry out border control at the external borders, in accordance with Articles 7 to 14, in such a way as to ensure an efficient, high and uniform level of control at their external borders. BORDER CONTROL IS MEMBER STATES RESPONSIBILITY 7

15 New European legislation on Border Control Reinforcement of checks against relevant databases at external borders Entry/ Exit System European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) 15

16 Reinforcement of checks against relevant databases A targeted modification of the Schengen Border code to make checks on EU citizens against all relevant databases mandatory. Systematic checks of third country nationals are already and continue to be mandatory: 16

17 Reinforcement of checks against relevant databases Impact on airport operations: Increased time at border control with consequences on the whole network. Security concerns Impact on airport finances: Additional resources for ABC, infrastructural changes, staff Entry into force: 7 April

18 ENTRY/EXIT SYSTEM Management of authorised short-stays and improved detection of document and identity fraud. The system will apply to all non-eu citizens who are admitted for a short stay in the Schengen area (maximum 90 days in any 180 day period). Will register the name, type of travel document and biometrics and the date and place of entry and exit. The System will also record refusals of entry. Will replace the current system of manual stamping of passports which does not provide reliable data on border crossings and does not allow the detection of over-stayers or address cases of loss or destruction of travelling documents. 18

19 ENTRY/EXIT SYSTEM 19

20 ENTRY/EXIT SYSTEM Impact on airport operations: To be determined. Increased time at border control with consequences on the whole network. To be determined Impact on airport finances: Entry into force: Awaiting Parliament s and Council s decisions 20

21 EUROPEAN TRAVEL INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION SYSTEM (ETIAS) Automated IT system created to identify risks associated with a visa-exempt visitor travelling to the Schengen Area. All visa-exempt third-country nationals who plan to travel to the Schengen area will have to apply for travel authorisation through the system prior to their trip. The information gathered via the system will allow for advance verification of potential security or irregular migration risks. The ETIAS authorisation is not a visa. In order to decide whether to issue or reject a request to travel to the EU, the system will conduct prior checks and either issue or refuse a travel authorisation. The final decision to grant or refuse entry will always be taken by the national border guards who are conducting border controls under the Schengen Borders Code. 21

22 EUROPEAN TRAVEL INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION SYSTEM (ETIAS) Technology requirements (according to EC): Designed to be interoperable with existing systems, and systems to be developed, such as the Entry Exit System (EES). To the maximum extent possible and when technically feasible, the ETIAS Information System will re-use the hardware and software components of the EES and its communication infrastructure. Interoperability will also be established with the other information systems to be consulted by ETIAS such as the Visa Information System (VIS), Europol data, the Schengen Information System (SIS), Eurodac and the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS). 22

23 EUROPEAN TRAVEL INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION SYSTEM (ETIAS) Databases to be checked by ETIAS: Schengen Information System (SIS) Visa Information System (VIS) Europol data Eurodac database Future EU information systems: Entry/Exit System (EES), European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) Relevant Interpol databases: Interpol Stolen and Lost Travel Document database (SLTD), Interpol Travel Documents Associated with Notices database (TDAWN), and a dedicated ETIAS watch list (to be established by Europol).. 23

24 EUROPEAN TRAVEL INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION SYSTEM (ETIAS) Carriers obligations: Prior to boarding, carriers will have to verify the status of the travel document required for entering the Schengen Area, including that the visa exempt third country national has a valid ETIAS travel authorisation Procedure at the airport: Upon arrival, border guard will electronically read the travel document data, thereby triggering a query to different databases as provided for by the Schengen Border Code, including a query to ETIAS in the case of visa-exempt travellers. If there is no valid ETIAS travel authorisation, the border guards will refuse entry and record the traveller and the refusal of entry in the EES. If there is a valid travel authorisation, the border control process will be conducted as per the current Schengen Border Code. As a result of this process, the traveller may be authorised to enter the Schengen area or refused access under the conditions defined in the Schengen Border Code. 24

25 EUROPEAN TRAVEL INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION SYSTEM (ETIAS) Impact on airport operations: To be determined. Controls will not be performed simultaneously but will be successive. Increased time at border control with consequences on the whole network. To be determined Impact on airport finances: Entry into force: Awaiting Parliament s and Council s decisions 25

26 In brief: The multiplication of legislation imposing more stringent controls result in additional process time at border control Additional process time at border control leads to delays and hence a worse passenger experience Member States must comply with the legislation they impose by providing the necessary resources to face more stringent controls at external borders The airport industry welcomes the manufacturers and service providers efforts to develop together with the national authorities the needed infrastructure and software solutions to comply with the new requirements while preserving a seamless passenger experience 26
