Schengen Borders Code

The Schengen Borders Code is a set of rules that governs the management of border controls within the Schengen Area, which includes 27 European countries that have abolished passport and other types of border control at their mutual borders. It aims to ensure free movement of people while maintaining security. The Code specifies procedures for border checks, entry conditions, and how to handle people who do not meet those conditions. It balances the need for open borders with the requirement to maintain public safety and manage migration effectively.
