Schengen is one of the EU’s most tangible achievements and a cornerstone of European integration.
Schengen means freedom, security and prosperity.
We celebrated the 40th anniversary of Schengen in the European Parliament today.
When the agreement was signed in 1985, we would never have imagined that one day, this would create an open road from the Atlantic to the Black Sea.

Today marks a historic milestone for Europe.
All 29 Schengen countries have successfully launched the Entry/Exit System — the digital backbone of EU border management system.
With the EES, we will know who enters and leaves the European Union, when and where. This achievement strengthens the security and integrity of our common borders.
Rolling out a large-scale IT system across the Union has been a complex and demanding task. I want to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to making the EES a reality.
🧭 From tomorrow, a new chapter begins for travel to Europe.
With the Entry/Exit System, border checks will become progressively smoother and simpler for travellers.
Stay tuned! ↓ #TravelToEurope
