    Update of reference amounts for the crossing of the external borders, as referred to in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) (OJ C 247, 13.10.2006, p. 19; OJ C 153, 6.7.2007, p. 22; OJ C 182, 4.8.2007, p. 18; OJ C 57, 1.3.2008, p. 38; OJ C 134, 31.5.2008, p. 19; OJ C 37, 14.2.2009, p. 8; OJ C 35, 12.2.2010, p. 7; OJ C 304, 10.11.2010, p. 5; OJ C 24, 26.1.2011, p. 6; OJ C 157, 27.5.2011, p. 8; OJ C 203, 9.7.2011, p. 16; OJ C 11, 13.1.2012, p. 13)

    2012/C 72/10

    The publication of reference amounts for the crossing of the external borders, as referred to in Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code), is based on the information communicated by the Member States to the Commission in accordance with Article 34 of the Schengen Borders Code.

    In addition to the publication in the Official Journal, a monthly update is available on the website of the Directorate-General for Home Affairs.

    ESTONIA

    Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006

    Under Estonian law, aliens arriving into Estonia without a letter of invitation shall, upon request by a border guard official upon entry into the country, provide proof of sufficient monetary means to cover the costs of his/her stay in and departure from Estonia. Sufficient monetary means for each allowed day is considered to be 0,2 times the monthly minimum salary implemented by the Government of the Republic, i.e. EUR 58.

    Otherwise the person inviting shall assume responsibility for the costs of the alien's stay in and departure from Estonia.

    FRANCE

    Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006

    The reference amount for adequate means of subsistence for the planned duration of an alien's stay or for his transit via France to a destination in a third State is equal to the amount of the guaranteed minimum wage in France (SMIC) calculated daily on the basis of the rate fixed on 1 January of the current year.

    This amount is regularly reassessed on the basis of the French cost of living index:

    automatically whenever the retail price index rises more than 2 %,

    by a government decision — after consultation with the national commission for collective bargaining — to grant a rise higher than the rise in the retail price index.

    As of 1 January 2012, the daily amount of the SMIC (minimum wage) is EUR 65.

    Persons holding proof of accommodation (attestation d'accueil) must possess a minimum amount of money, equivalent to half the SMIC, in order to stay in France. This amount is therefore EUR 32,50 per day.
