Secure access to the carrier gateway referred to in point (k) of Article 6(2), including the possibility to use mobile technical solutions, shall allow carriers to proceed with the query referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article prior to the boarding of a passenger. The carrier shall provide the data contained in the machine-readable zone of the travel document and indicate the Member State of entry. By way of derogation, in the case of airport transit, the carrier shall not be obliged to verify whether the third-country national is in possession of a valid travel authorisation. The ETIAS Information System shall, through the carrier gateway, provide the carriers with an ‘OK/NOT OK’ answer indicating whether or not the person has a valid travel authorisation. If a travel authorisation has been issued with limited territorial validity in accordance with Article 44, the response provided by the ETIAS Central System shall take into account the Member State(s) for which the authorisation is valid as well as the Member State of entry indicated by the carrier. Carriers may store the information sent and the answer received in accordance with the applicable law. The OK/NOT OK answer shall not be regarded as a decision to authorise or refuse entry in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/399. The Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, adopt detailed rules concerning the conditions for the operation of the carrier gateway and the data protection and security rules applicable. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 90(2).
