New Schengen Borders Code
April 8, 2016
From April 2016, the new Schengen Borders Code comes into force, which is essentially a consolidation and codification effort.
The Borders Code was established through Regulation 562/2006 and is now being repealed and replaced with Regulation 2016/399. This regulation is intended to improve the legislation surrounding management of the integrated European Union border policy through establishing a series of rules regarding persons crossing EU external borders.
The codification concerns:
-
Technical issues (e.g. clarifying and providing ways to enforce the maximum stay of 90 days under visit rules), as well as
-
The more topical issue of the reintroduction of internal border controls.
The full Schengen Borders Code (Regulation 2016/399) can be found here, however for a summary of the main changes please click here.
