The committee had a first exchange of views on the Schengen governance package. The Council preparatory bodies were instructed to start the technical work on the different proposals as soon as possible.

The package as presented by the Commission consists of a communication concerning Schengen governance as well as the two legislative proposals accompanying it, which are:

  • an amended proposal for a regulation on a revised Schengen evaluation mechanism;
  • an amendment to the Schengen Borders Code as regards the rules for the temporary reintroduction of border controls at internal borders in exceptional circumstances.
