On 20 November 2017 the Council adopted the regulation for an entry-exit system and the regulation amending the Schengen border code in relation to the entry-exit system.
     "Strong control of our external borders is essential for the well functioning of the Schengen area. The entry-exit system will contribute to improving external border controls, better identify overstayers and strengthen the fight against terrorism."
     This system will register entry, exit and refusal of entry information of third country nationals crossing the external borders of the Schengen area.
