21/04/2023 (Agence Europe) – Members of the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties will not vote on the revision of the Schengen Borders Code during the meeting on 26 April, as was once envisaged (see EUROPE 13155/6). The European Parliament negotiators have not yet managed to agree on the contours of the reform and are notably stumbling over Article 27-a-5, which concerns the framework of the periods for renewing internal border controls. The Commission’s original proposal effectively allowed for renewals without time limits. A vote is expected to take place in May, but no date has been set yet. The EU Council adopted its mandate last June (see EUROPE 12969/2). (SP)
