(16) The EES should consist of a Central System (EES Central System), which operates a computerised central database of biometric and alphanumeric data, a National Uniform Interface in each Member State, a Secure Communication Channel between the EES Central System and the central Visa Information System (VIS Central System) of the VIS, and a secure and encrypted Communication Infrastructure between the EES Central System and the National Uniform Interfaces. Each Member State should connect its national border infrastructures to the National Uniform Interface in a secure manner. In order to enable the generation of statistics and reporting, a data repository should be established at central level. In order to enable third–country nationals to verify at any moment the remaining authorised stay, a web service should be developed. The web service should also enable carriers to verify whether third-country nationals holding a Schengen short-stay visa issued for one or two entries have already used the number of entries authorised by their visa. Relevant stakeholders should be consulted in the development phase of that web service. In establishing the technical specifications for the access of carriers to the web service, the impact on passenger travel and carriers should be limited to the extent possible. For this purpose, appropriate integration with relevant systems should be considered.
