(Schengen Borders Code), including a query in ETIAS which should provide the up-to-date travel authorisation status. If there is no valid travel authorisation, the border guard should refuse entry and should complete the border check process accordingly. If there is a valid travel authorisation, the decision to authorise or refuse entry should be taken by the border guard. Certain data in the ETIAS file should be accessible to border guards to assist them in carrying out their tasks.
