Amendment 181 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8 a (new)
(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 in the territory of the EU Member States, regardless of their nature and legal basis. The automated calculator should also take into account stays spent on the basis of Schengen short stay visas, short stay visas issued by a Members State not yet fully applying the Schengen acquis and stays of third- country nationals exempt from the visa obligation. In particular, with the exception of the initial period of stay, all extensions granted in accordance with Article 20(2) of the Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement should be taken into account.

Amendment 271 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(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 areaUnion. 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 areaEU, 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.

Amendment 304 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 43
(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.
