With the adoption of the Plan for the management of the external borders of the Member States of the European Union at a Council meeting on 13 June 2002, and subsequently at the Seville European Council of 21 and 22 June, it became apparent that the European Community needed common rules on local border traffic.

The Commission, too, in its 2003 report on ‘wider Europe’ (COM(2003)104, 11.3.2003), stressed that the EU and its neighbours were striving to ensure that the external border was not a barrier to trade, social and cultural interchange or regional cooperation.

The purpose of the regulation is to lay down common rules on the criteria and conditions for establishing a regime of local border traffic at the ‘external land borders’ of the Member States, i.e. the common land border between: a Member State and a neighbouring third country (e.g. the border between Poland and Ukraine); a Member State fully implementing the Schengen acquis and a Member State bound to apply such acquis in full but for which the Council decision authorising it to fully apply that acquis has not entered into force (e.g. the border between Austria and Hungary); or two Member States bound to apply the Schengen acquis in full but for which the Council decision authorising them to fully apply that acquis has not entered into force (e.g. the border between the Czech Republic and Poland).

Taking into account the positions set out above and on the basis of the exchange of views with representatives of the Council and the Commission, the rapporteur, in general, supports the Council’s position and is therefore proposing amendments which seek to ensure that effective controls are implemented at the external border while not disturbing the life of the people living on either side.

The gist of the amendments proposed by the rapporteur is as follows:
