The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Michael CASHMAN (PES, UK) on the proposal for a regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code), as regards the implementing powers conferred on the Commission.
Parliament made some technical amendments so as to take into account the specificity of the Schengen Borders Code. It felt that, since the proposal constituted a development of the Schengen acquis, some special provisions, notably as regards the Member States in which it applies, needed to be introduced. Accordingly, new recitals are introduced regarding Denmark, Iceland and Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Lastly, Parliament provided that any additional rules governing surveillance must be decided in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny.
