Initiative summary:
The pandemic, security concerns, and migration management issues have led Member States to reintroduce internal border checks, some of which have been renewed several times since 2015. The Commission aims to adopt a Schengen strategy for a stronger Schengen area, including a revamped Schengen Borders Code, and revisit the Schengen evaluation mechanism to make the Schengen area stronger, more resilient and adapted to the evolving challenges, guaranteeing the free movement of persons.
