Large Goods Vehicle Drivers: Immigration Controls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential risk that incomplete EU Entry/Exit System exit records could wrongly count UK-based professional HGV drivers as remaining in the Schengen area after they have returned to the UK.
Answered by Keir Mather
The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is an EU-operated border management system designed to strengthen border security and record the entry and exit of third-country nationals to and from the Schengen area.
Responsibility for the collection, accuracy and management of EES data rests with the European Union and its member states.
Travellers who believe their EES data is inaccurate can seek correction through the procedures established by the EU and participating member states.
