AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
The European Parliament adopted its position on a regulation allowing a progressive start of operations for the Entry/Exit System (EES), a database registering entries and exits of third-country nationals at Schengen borders.
The regulation temporarily derogates from certain rules to let member states phase in the EES over 180 days, instead of requiring a full simultaneous launch at all border points.
Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and instructs its President to forward the position to the Council, Commission, and national parliaments.
AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation sets rules for a progressive start of operations of the Entry/Exit System (EES), derogating temporarily from the EES Regulation and the Schengen Borders Code.
