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

(28) Requests for access to EES data should be made by the operating units within the designated authorities to the central access point and should be duly justified. Operating units within the designated authorities that are authorised to request access to EES data should not act as a verifying authority. The central access point should be a body or entity entrusted by national law to exercise public authority and should be capable, by virtue of the quality and number of its staff, of effectively verifying whether the conditions to request access to the EES are fulfilled in each case. The central access points should act independently of the designated authorities and should be responsible for ensuring, in an independent manner, strict compliance with the conditions for access set out in this Regulation. In a case of urgency, where early access is necessary to respond to a specific and actual threat related to terrorist offences or other serious criminal offences, the central access point should be able to process the request immediately and carry out the verification afterwards.
