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 EES for law enforcement purposes, and amending the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement and Regulations (EC) No 767/2008 and (EU) No 1077/2011 · European Union

Three years after the start of operations of the EES and every four years thereafter, the Commission shall produce an overall evaluation of the EES. This overall evaluation shall include: an assessment of the application of this Regulation; an examination of the results achieved against objectives and the impact on fundamental rights; an assessment of the continuing validity of the underlying rationale of the EES; an assessment of the adequacy of the biometric data used for the proper functioning of the EES; an assessment of the use of stamps in the exceptional circumstances referred to in Article 21(2); an assessment of the security of the EES; an assessment of any implications, including any disproportionate impact on the flow of traffic at border crossing points and those with a budgetary impact on the Union budget. The evaluations shall include any necessary recommendations. The Commission shall transmit the evaluation report to the European Parliament, to the Council, to the European Data Protection Supervisor and to the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights established by Council Regulation (EC) No 168/2007 Council Regulation (EC) No 168/2007 of 15 February 2007 establishing a European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (OJ L 53, 22.2.2007, p. 1). . Those evaluations shall also include an assessment of the use made of the provisions referred to in Article 60 both in terms of frequency — number of third-country nationals making use of these provisions per Member State, their nationality and average duration of their stay — and practical implications, and shall take into account any related developments in the Union’s visa policy. The first evaluation report may include options in view of phasing out the provisions referred to in Article 60 and replacing them with a Union instrument. It shall be accompanied, where appropriate, by a legislative proposal amending the provisions referred to in Article 60.
