Key points

The proposal aims to protect the Schengen area by ensuring that internal border controls are used only as a last resort in exceptional circumstances.
A new mechanism is proposed to allow for coordinated travel restrictions at the Union level during large-scale public health emergencies.
Strict time limits are introduced for the reintroduction of internal border controls, with a maximum duration allowed for foreseeable threats.
The use of modern surveillance technologies, such as drones and sensors, must comply with the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and data protection laws.
