2.

In cases where there is doubt as to whether sufficient reasons to refuse the travel authorisation exist, the ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible shall have the possibility, including after an interview, to issue a travel authorisation with a flag recommending to border authorities to proceed with a second line check. The ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible may also attach such a flag upon the request of a consulted Member State. Such a flag shall only be visible to the border authorities. The flag shall be removed automatically once the border authorities have carried out the check and have entered the entry record in the EES.
