Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The evaluation mechanism should provide for a support mechanism in case a serious deficiency, which has a possible significant impact on the internal security of the Schengen area, is detected. In the event of the Member State concerned not being able, within a six-month period and with the support of Frontex experts, to remedy the deficiency, it should be possible to apply follow-up measures and sanctions, which could lead to the reintroduction of border controls for a limited period of time, in full respect of Articles 78(3) and 80 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Article 13 b (new)
Article 13b Follow-up and sanctions Six months after the detection of a serious deficiency, the Commission shall schedule an on-site visit. If the on-site visit reveals that the serious deficiency has not been remedied, the Commission shall present a proposal to the committee established under Article 15 on the follow-up and possible sanctions. The decision on the follow-up and possible sanctions shall be taken in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 15(2). In case of a continuous failure to comply with the Schengen rules on the part of a Member State, exhaustion of all possible actions and support to remedy the situation must be pursued before deliberation of more severe sanctions. Pursuant to Articles 78(3) and 80 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, a reintroduction of border controls shall not be permitted against a Member State that is either confronted by an emergency situation characterised by a sudden inflow of nationals of third countries or faces a critical situation with regard to fully implementing its Schengen obligations due, in whole or in part, to the high number of third country nationals reaching its borders.
