Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Following the example of many other countries, such as the USA, Canada or Australia, all third-country nationals travelling to the Union or leaving the Union should be electronically registered at the Union's external borders. In this way, border crossings can be carried out more swiftly for regular travellers, suspects can be sorted out before accessing the Union, the duration of authorised stays can be calculated more reliably and compliance with the authorised period of a stay can be monitored more effectively.

(7) It is necessary to specify the objectivpurposes of the Entry/Exit System (EES) and its, such as the increased efficiency of border checks by the use of modern technologies and the easier identification of persons who do not or no longer fulfil the conditions for entry or stay in the Union. The EES could help to improve the management of external borders and migration flows. It is also necessary to detail the technical architecture, of the EES in order to lay down rules concerning its operation and use and to define responsibilities forthe tasks and functions of the system, the categories of data to be entered into the system, the purposes for which the data are to be entered, the criteria for their entry, the authorities authorised to access the data and further rules on data processing and the protection of personal data.

Recital 9
(9) The EES should have the objective of improving, as its primary purpose, the improvement of the management of external borders, the preventingon of irregular immigration and the facilitatingon of the management of migration flows. The EES should, in particular andIn addition to the verification at external borders, the EES should, when relevant, contribute to the identification of any person who does not fulfil or no longer fulfils the conditions of duration of stay within the territory of the Member Statesfor entry in and stay and residence within the territory of the Member States. The second purpose of the EES should be to contribute to the prevention, detection, investigation or prosecution of criminal offences, in particular where there is a substantiated suspicion that the suspect, perpetrator or victim of a terrorist offence or other serious criminal offence falls under a category covered by this Regulation.

(10) To meet those objectivesIn order to fully exploit its potential, the EES should process alphanumeric data and biometric data (fingerprints and facial image). The use of biometrics, despite its impact on the privacy of travellers, is justifiedappropriate for two reasons. Firstly, biometrics are a reliable method to identify third country nationals within the territory of the Member States who are not in possession of travel documents or any other means of identification, a common modus operandi of irregular migrants, or who are hiding their identity by presenting falsified or fraudulent travel documents. Secondly, biometrics provide for the more reliable matching of entry and exit data of legal travellers. Where facial images are used in combination with fingerprint data, it allows for the reduction of fingerprints registered while enabling the same result in terms of accuracy of the identification.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) For each individual crossing of the external borders of the Union, border guards should, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a, carry out mandatory information checks against Union and national databases, including the Schengen Information System (SIS). Member States should also ensure an electronic connection to Interpol's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database at external border crossing points. The necessity and technical feasibility of creating a Single Interface Platform or another Secure Communication Channel between the EES and the SIS, relevant Interpol databases and national databases should be explored by the High Level Expert Group on Information Systems and Interoperability. _________________ 1aRegulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on a Union Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (OJ L 77, 23.3.2016, p. 1).

Recital 13 c (new)
(13c) Once the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) and Eurodac databases have been revised or established, the technical feasibility of creating an interoperability between the EES and those databases should be explored. This interoperability should enable real-time checks and information comparison between the EES Central System and those databases in order to enable the border and law enforcement authorities using the EES to identify potentially dangerous suspects and to detect identity fraud at an early stage.

Recital 16
(16) In the fight against terrorist offences and other serious criminal offences, it is imperative that law enforcement authorities have the most up- to-date information if they are to perform their tasks. Access to VIS data for law enforcement purpose has already proven its usefulness in identifying people who died violently or for helping investigators to make substantial progress in cases related to human being trafficking, terrorism or drug trafficking. Access to the information contained in the EES is necessary to prevent, detect and investigate terrorist offences as referred to in Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA23 or other serious criminal offences as referred to in Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA24. The data generated by the EES may be used as an identity verification tool both in cases where the third country national has destroyed or falsified his/her documents and where law enforcement authorities are investigating a crime through the use of fingerprints or facial image and wish to establish an identity. It may also be used as a criminal intelligence tool to construct evidence by tracking the travel routes of a person suspected of having committed a crime or a victim of crime. Therefore, the data in the EES should be available, to the designated authorities of the Member States and the European Police Office ('Europol'), subject to the conditions set out in this Regulation. _________________ 23 Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA of 13 June 2002 on combatting terrorism (OJ L 164, 22.6.2002 p.6). 24 Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA of 13 June 2002 on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member State (OJ L 190, 18.7.2002, p. 1)

(17) Moreover, Europol plays a key role with respect to cooperation between Member States’ authorities in the field of cross-border crime investigation in supporting Union-wide crime prevention, analyses and investigation. Consequently, Europol should also have access to the EES within the framework of its tasks and in accordance with Council Decision 2009/371/JHA.25 _________________ 25 Council Decision 2009/371/JHA of 6 April 2009 establishing the European Police Office (Europol) (OJ L 121, 15Regulation 2016/794 of the European Parliament and of the Council.25 _________________ 25 Regulation (EU) 2016/794 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) and replacing and repealing Council Decisions 2009/371/JHA, 2009/934/JHA, 2009/935/JHA, 2009/936/JHA and 2009/968/JHA (OJ L 135, 24.5.200916, p. 537).

(18) Access to the EES for the purpose of preventing, detecting or investigating terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences constitutes an interference with the fundamental rights to respect for the private life of individuals and to protection of personal data of persons whose personal data are processed in the EES. Any such interference must be in accordance with the law, which must be formulated with sufficient precision to allow individuals to adjust their conduct and it must protect individuals against arbitrariness and indicate with sufficient clarity the scope of discretion conferred on the competent authorities and the manner of its exercise. Any interference with the fundamental rights to respect for the private life of individuals and to protection of personal data of persons whose personal data are processed in the EES must be necessary in a democratic society to protect a legitimate and proportionate interest and proportionate to the legitimate objective to achieve.

Recital 19
(19) Comparisons of data on the basis of a latent fingerprint, which is the dactyloscopic trace which may be found at a crime scene, is fundamental in the field of police cooperation. The possibility to compare a latent fingerprint with the fingerprint data which is stored in the EES in cases where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the perpetrator or victim may be registered in the EES should provides the law enforcement authorities of the Member States with a very valuable tool into preventing, detecting or investigatinge terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences, when for example the only evidence at a crime scene are latent fingerprints.

(22) To protect personal data and to exclude systematic searches, the processing of EES data should only take place in specjustificed cases and when it is necessary for the purposes of preventing, detecting or investigating terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences. The designated authorities and Europol should only request access to the EES when they have reasonable grounds to believe that such access will provide information that will substantially assist them in preventing, detecting or investigating a terrorist offence or other serious criminal offence.

(23) In addition, access to the EES for identification of unknown suspects, perpetrators or victims of terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences should be allowed only on the condition that searches with the national fingerprint databases of the Member State andor with the automated fingerprinting identification systems of all other Member States under Council Decision 2008/615/JHA26 did not lead to the establishment of the identity of the data subject. Furthermore, access to the EES to consult the entry/exit records of a known person should be duly justified. _________________ 26 Decision 2008/615/JHA of 23 June 2008 on the stepping up of cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime (OJ L 210, 6.8.2008, p. 1).

Recital 25
(25) The personal data stored in the EES should be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes of the EES. It is appropriate to keep the data related to third country nationals for a period of fiveten years for border management purposes in order to avoid the need for third country nationals to re-enrol in the EES before that period has lapsed. For third country nationals who are family members of a Union citizen to whom Directive 2004/38/EC27 applies or of a national of a third country enjoying the right of free movement under Union law and who do not hold a residence card referred to under Directive 2004/38/EC, it is appropriate to store each coupled entry/ exit record for a maximum period of one year after the last exit. _________________ 27Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States amending Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 and repealing Directives 64/221/EEC, 68/360/EEC, 72/194/EEC, 73/148/EEC, 75/34/EEC, 75/35/EEC, 90/364/EEC, 90/365/EEC and 93/96/EEC (OJ L 158, 30.4.2004, p. 77).
Amendment 269 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) A fiveten 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 area. 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 and residence. 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 fiveten 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 area, 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.

(27) The same retention period of fiveten years would be necessary for data on persons who have not exited the territory of the Member States within the authorised period of stay in order to support the identification and return process and for persons whose entry for a short stay {or on the basis of a touring visa} has been refused. The data should be deleted after the period of five years, unless there are grounds to delete it earlierten years.
