COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) …/...
            
            
               of XXX
            
            
               concerning the detailed rules on the conditions for the operation of the web service and data protection and security rules applicable to the web service as well as measures for the development and technical implementation of the web service provided for by Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Implementing Decision C(2019)1230
               
            
               THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
            
            
               Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
            
            
               Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2017 establishing an Entry/Exit System (EES) to register entry and exit data and refusal of entry data of third-country nationals crossing the external borders of the Member States and determining the conditions for access to the Entry/Exit System for law enforcement purposes, and amending the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement and Regulations (EC) No 767/2008 and (EU) No 1077/2011
                  1
               , and in particular Article 13(7) and Article 36, first paragraph, point (h), thereof,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 establishes the Entry/Exit System, for the electronic recording and storage of the date, time and place of entry and exit of third-country nationals admitted or refused for a short stay in the territory of the Member States and calculates the duration of their authorised stay. 
            
            
               (2)The European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice, established by Regulation (EU) 1077/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  2
                (‘eu-LISA’) is responsible for the development and operational management of the Entry/Exit System. 
            
            
               (3)Commission Implementing Decision C(2019)1230 lays down specifications and conditions for the operation of the web service provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226, including specific provisions for data protection and security. Those specifications and conditions must be adapted by taking into account visa-exempt travellers within the meaning of Article 45 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  3
               . 
            
            
               (4)Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 requires carriers to use the web service to verify whether third-country nationals holding a short-stay visa issued for one or two entries have already used the number of entries authorised by their visa.
            
            
               (5)In order to enable carriers to fulfil their obligation to verify the use of the single and double entry visa, they should have access to the web service. Carriers should access the web service through an authentication scheme and be able to dispatch and receive messages in a format to be determined by eu-LISA. 
            
            
               (6)Technical rules on the message format and authentication scheme should be laid down in order to enable carriers to connect and use the web service to be specified in the technical guidelines, which are part of the technical specifications referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226, to be adopted by eu-LISA.
            
            
               (7)Carriers should be able to indicate that the passengers fall outside the scope of the Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 and in such case carriers should receive an automatic “Not applicable” reply from the web service, without querying the read only database and without logging. 
            
            
               (8)The Commission, eu-LISA and the Member States should endeavour to inform all known carriers of how and when they can register. Upon successful completion of the registration procedure as well as, where relevant, the successful completion of testing, eu-LISA should connect the carrier to the carrier interface.
            
            
               (9)Authenticated carriers should only give access to the web service to duly authorised staff.
            
            
               (10)This Regulation should provide for data protection and security rules applicable to the authentication scheme. 
            
            
               (11)In order to ensure that the verification query is based on information, which is as up-to-date as possible, queries should be introduced at the earliest 48 hours prior to the scheduled time of departure. 
            
            
               (12)This Regulation should apply to air carriers, sea carriers and international carriers transporting groups overland by coach, coming into the territory of the Member States. Border checks for entry into the territory of the Member States may precede boarding. In such cases, carriers should be relieved of the obligation to verify the travel authorisation status of travellers. 
            
         
         
            
               (13)To ensure that the data accessed by carriers is accurate and consistent with the data stored in the Entry/Exit System, the read only database referred to in Article 13(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 should be updated as necessary.
            
            
               (14)Carriers should have access to a web form on a public website allowing them to request assistance. When requesting assistance carriers should receive an acknowledgement of receipt containing a ticket number. eu-LISA or the ETIAS Central Unit may contact carriers that have received a ticket in order to provide an adequate response.
            
            
               (15)Due to the need to limit the administrative burden on passenger travel and carrier to the extent possible by integrating with the European Travel Information and Authorisation System and therefore adapting the conditions for the operation of the web service referred to in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 to the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2018/1240, the provisions on assistance to carriers and the procedures to follow in case of technical impossibility established for Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 should apply.
            
            
               (16)This Regulation is without prejudice to the application of Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  4
               .
            
            
               (17)In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 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 did not take part in the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 and is not bound by it or subject to its application. However, given that Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 builds upon the Schengen acquis, Denmark, in accordance with Article 4 of that Protocol, notified on 30 May 2018 its decision to implement Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 in its national law. Denmark is therefore bound under international law to implement this Decision.
            
            
               (18)This Regulation constitutes a development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis in which Ireland does not take part and does not fall into the ambit of Council Decision 2002/192/EC
                  5
               ; Ireland is therefore not taking part in the adoption of this Regulation and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
            
            
               (19)As regards Iceland and Norway, 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
                  6
               , which fall within the area referred to in Article 1, point A of Council Decision 1999/437/EC
                  7
               .
            
            
               (20)As regards Switzerland, 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
                  8
               , 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
                  9
               . 
            
            
               (21)As regards Liechtenstein, 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
                  10
                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
                  11
               .
            
            
               (22)As regards Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia, the operation of the Entry/Exit System requires the granting of passive access to the Visa Information System and the putting into effect of all the provisions of the Schengen acquis relating to the Schengen Information System in accordance with the relevant Council Decisions. Those conditions can only be met once the verification in accordance with the applicable Schengen evaluation procedure has been successfully completed. Therefore, the Entry/Exit System should be operated only by those Member States which fulfil those conditions by the start of its operations. Member States not operating it from the initial start of operations should be connected to it in accordance with the procedure set out in Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 as soon as all of those conditions are met.
            
            
               (23)The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  12
                and delivered an opinion on XXXXX 2020.
            
            
               (24)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Smart Borders Committee (EES),
