This paper presents the main elements of the Regulation establishing an Entry/Exit System (EES) for the registration of entry and exit data and data relating to refusals of entry concerning third‐country nationals crossing the external borders of the Member States of the European Union (EU) as well as for determining the conditions for access to the EES for law enforcement purposes. The Regulation in question aims to regulate the conditions governing the entry and exit of third‐country nationals into and from the Member States of the EU. It establishes an electronic system to record and verify the entry and exit of third‐country nationals at the Union’s external borders. The new rules are intended to ensure the protection of public policy, internal security, and public health within the Member States of the EU.
