• Since when is Schengen?
the Schengen agreement, named after the Luxembourg town where it was ratified, was signed June 14, 1985 at the initiative of Germany, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Given the lack of consensus within ten then-members of the European Union, these five countries are to achieve the objective of free movement of persons , stated in the Treaty of Rome of 1957. Schengen came into force in 1995. Since 1999, there is integrated into the institutional and legal framework of the European Union.
• What does Schengen?
the agreement removes checks internal borders of the European Union and guarantees the free movement for all nationals of the signatory States . They can travel without having to show their passports, provided with a simple identity card. Everyone, even from a non-Schengen member countries can move freely in space, once he set foot in one of the member countries. The agreement therefore places . a heavy responsibility to countries with external borders
in fact, the controls remain at the external borders of the countries of the Schengen area: Greece, Italy, Spain and the Balkans. All signatories must agree to monitor them. To help them, they have the Schengen Information System (SIS). This database, accessible fonts and consulates, identifies the list of missing persons and unwanted and objects and stolen cars. The police of a State may pass in a prosecution border with a criminal. The anti-drug cooperation is facilitated. In airports, European passengers traveling within the Schengen area are separated from others.
Schengen also establishes common rules on asylum and single list of non-EU countries whose nationals must obtain a visa, costing 60 euros to enter the Schengen area. A black list of visa-ban exists. Other EU states must abide by solidarity within justify “humanitarian reasons” or “international obligations”.
• How has the Schengen area ?
twenty-six countries are members now twenty-both from the EU and four third countries – Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Cyprus, Ireland and the United Kingdom have not joined Schengen and keep checks at their borders. Since the 2000s, Dublin and London, however, participate in SIS.
The Schengen candidate countries must obtain permission from the 26 members of the space. They must have completed checks in airports criteria, data collection, police cooperation, visa procedures etc. Bulgaria and Romania have been repositioned in 2011 , due to opposition from the Netherlands, dissatisfied with the progress made in surveillance of external borders and combating corruption. The previous Greek has scalded minds. Entered Schengen in 1992, Athens fails to control its border with Turkey.
• Under what circumstances can a country restore controls at the border?
At the time of the migration crisis, some require the use of the clause to suspend Schengen. Article 2.2 permits a country to do so temporarily for reasons of “national security” or to deal with an unexpected situation.
“In cases of serious threat to public order and internal security , countries may exceptionally reintroduce controls at internal borders for a period of maximum 30 days (extendable with the conditions established by the code) or for the foreseeable duration of the serious threat. This should be taken as a last resort. “Says the Schengen code.
