The decision to determine the indications that are to feature on signs posted at external border crossing points was taken first in 1994, under the Schengen system. This initiative seeks to update these indications and also to set uniform minimum indications for use in signs.
Mr Deprez’s excellent report warrants our full support and addresses the issue of external borders, which have been the weakest link in the system.
I wish to highlight four essential points:
opting for the system of separate checkpoints, which is to be welcomed, given the differences in requirements relating to the carrying out of checks on citizens from the Community, from the European Economic Area or from Switzerland and on third-country nationals;
there must be no difference between signs for citizens of the Union and for nationals of countries have the same rights when crossing borders – these signs must be as clear and simple as possible;
the Member State authorities should put up signs written in other languages or using other characters, particularly in multilingual countries, in ones which use an alphabet with special characters or in ones which receive a large number of visitors who use languages with special characters;
this must be applied not only at airports but also at land and sea borders."@en1
