The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on the draft by Roberta ANGELILLI (UEN, I) and made some amendments to clarify the proposal. Parliament agreed that the Common Manual for External Borders contains provisions on the stamping of travel documents of third country nationals when they cross the external borders of Member States that have adopted the Schengen acquis. Those provisions should be amended and brought together in a European Community legal instrument that is binding in its entirety.�
