            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/102
of 25 January 2022
         
laying down forms for refusal, annulment or revocation of a travel authorisation


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 September 2018 establishing a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and amending Regulations (EU) No 1077/2011, (EU) No 515/2014, (EU) 2016/399, (EU) 2016/1624 and (EU) 2017/2226 (1), and in particular Article 38(3) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 established the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) for third-country nationals exempt from the requirement to be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders. It laid down the conditions and procedures for issuing or refusing a travel authorisation.












(2)


Where an application for a travel authorisation is refused, annulled or revoked following manual processing by an ETIAS National Unit, the applicant should be immediately notified of that decision. For that purpose, ETIAS National Units should use forms containing the minimum information set out in Article 38(2) of the Regulation (EU) 2018/1240. The forms should also cover cases where the applicants themselves decide to revoke the authorisation (self-revocation).












(3)


Given that Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 builds upon the Schengen acquis, in accordance with Article 4 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark notified the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 in its national law. Denmark is therefore bound by this Decision.












(4)


This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part (2). Ireland is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application.












(5)


This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement concluded by the Council of the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway concerning the association of those two States with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (3), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC (4).












(6)


This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (5), which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC, read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2008/146/EC (6).












(7)


This Decision constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis within the meaning of the Protocol between the European Union, the European Community, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein on the accession of the Principality of Liechtenstein to the Agreement between the European Union, the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on the Swiss Confederation’s association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (7)
, which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC read in conjunction with Article 3 of Council Decision 2011/350/EU (8).












(8)


As regards Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania and Croatia, this Decision constitutes an act building upon, or otherwise relating to, the Schengen acquis within the meaning, respectively, of Article 3(1) of the 2003 Act of Accession, Article 4(1) of the 2005 Act of Accession and Article 4(1) of the 2011 Act of Accession.












(9)


The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted on 15 April 2021 and delivered an opinion on 25 May 2021.












(10)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Smart Borders Committee,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1

Generation of forms following a decision to refuse, annul or revoke a travel authorisation


1.   Forms for the purpose of notifying decisions to refuse, annul or revoke a travel authorisation or a travel authorisation with limited territorial validity (hereinafter ‘travel authorisation’) shall be generated automatically by means of the software referred to in Article 6(2)(m) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240.
The forms shall be based on the templates in the Annex I, II or III.


2.   The software shall provide the possibility of generating:






—


a form with the possibility to select one of the official languages of the Member States; and










—


a form with the possibility to select English, French or German, or, where relevant in relation to the applicant in question, at the discretion of the Member State, another of the official languages of the European Union which shall be different from the language used in the form referred to in the first subparagraph.






3.   The field forms of Annex I, II, III named ‘Statement of the relevant facts and additional reasoning underlying the decision’ shall be translated by the Member States and the costs shall be born by the general budget of the Union in accordance with Article 85(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240.


4.   The software shall enable the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible to select a form according to the type of decision taken (refusal, annulment or revocation).


5.   The software shall then present a subsequent list requiring the selection of at least one of the applicable grounds for the decision, as set out in the following provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240:






(a)


for refusal, Article 37(1) and (2);










(b)


for annulment, Article 37(1) and (2), as referred to in Article 40(1);










(c)

The field in Annex I, II, III named ‘Statement of the relevant facts and additional reasoning underlying the decision’ shall be mandatory. Until that section is completed in the selected languages, the ETIAS Information System shall prevent the generation of the forms.


6.   Where the decision to refuse, annul or revoke concerns a travel authorisation with limited territorial validity, the software shall present, in addition to the list of paragraph 5, the following list of grounds to be selected:






(a)


humanitarian grounds not fulfilled/no longer fulfilled in accordance with the national law of the Member State to which the third-country national concerned intends to travel;










(b)


reasons of national interest not fulfilled/no longer fulfilled; or










(c)


international obligations not fulfilled/no longer fulfilled.






7.   Where the decision to refuse, annul or revoke a travel authorisation concern a person who declared to fall under the scope of Article 2(1), point (c) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240, the list of options referred to in paragraph 5 shall not include grounds which are not applicable pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 and Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (9).


8.   Once the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible has completed the selections referred to in paragraphs 2 to 6 the software shall automatically generate the relevant draft forms. The forms shall contain the corresponding application number and be automatically pre-filled with the data referred to in the following provisions of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240:






(a)


as regards refusal, points (a) to (e) in Article 38(2);










(b)


as regards annulment or revocation, points (a) to (f) in Article 42.






9.   Before the form is transmitted to the applicant, the software shall enable the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible to confirm the selections made and the information in the forms.


10.   Upon confirmation pursuant to paragraph 9, the software shall generate the forms in PDF format.


11.   The generated forms shall be added to the application file and transmitted to the applicant via the email service referred to in point (f) in Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240.



Article 2

Access and authentication for the purpose of self-revocation


1.   Applicants shall be given the option to revoke a travel authorisation via the public website and the app for mobile devices referred to in Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240.

3.   The applicant shall first enter the following data:






(a)


the application number;










(b)


the travel document number;










(c)


the email address used in the application for a travel authorisation.




The applicant shall be asked to confirm that they have access to the email address referred to in the first subparagraph, point (c), by ticking a box. Should they no longer have access to that address, they shall be asked to enter a new email address for receiving a unique code and confirmation of revocation.


4.   Where the data submitted pursuant to paragraph 3 correspond to a valid travel authorisation, the first authentication shall consist of the submission by the applicant of the following data:

(c)

5.   The second authentication shall consist of a unique code to be entered into the revocation web page or mobile app.
The unique code shall be generated automatically and sent to the applicant through the email service referred to in Article 6(2), point (f), of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240, upon submission of the data referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4. The recipient email address shall be that to which the applicant has access, as confirmed pursuant to paragraph 3.

9.   Unique codes generated pursuant to paragraph 5 shall expire after a reasonably short period of time. The sending of a new code shall invalidate previous codes. Codes shall be usable only once.


10.   Where the revocation request is introduced with an email address that differs from that used in the application form, the finalised request shall not be sent to the ETIAS National Unit for processing before the deadline referred to in the second subparagraph in paragraph 6. In all other cases, it shall be sent to the National Unit without undue delay.

4.   If the applicant is present on the territory of a Member State when the request is introduced, the revocation shall become effective once the applicant has exited the territory and from the moment the corresponding entry/exit record has been created in the entry/exit system (EES) in accordance with Articles 16(3) and 17(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 (10).
In all other cases, the revocation shall become effective upon confirmation by the ETIAS National Unit pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Article.
