  Schengen treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A monument of the Schengen Treaty in Schengen
The Schengen Treaty was created independently of the European Union in part due to the lack of consensus amongst EU members, and in part because those ready to implement the idea did not wish to wait for others who were not ready.
The treaty with which was agreed upon by Germany, Spain, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, and Belgium is different from the Schengen treaty, but it's very similar in the sense that the Schengen treaty before the Treaty of Amsterdam was formed and approved by some of the energetic European contries having a same purpose.

 Encyclopedia: Schengen Treaty
The Schengen treaty is an agreement originally signed in on June 14, 1985, by seven European Union countries.
Full implementation of the Schengen treaty began in July 1995 with the removal of internal border controls between six of seven Schengen member states.
The goal of the treaty is to end border checkpoints and controls within the Schengen area and harmonize external border controls.

 Stephen Kabera Karanja - The Schengen Treaty
The Schengen Agreement of 1985 was as it were the skeleton whereas the 1990 Convention is the flesh.
Hence both the critics and fanatics of the Schengen viewed the as an antidote to the deficits as the role of the EU institutions in areas of the Schengen co-operation would be strengthened.
The Schengen Convention seems to be adversely directed against foreign nationals, especially, those from third countries required to have a visa to enter the Schengen area.

The Schengen Treaty means that people within the participating countries can move into any other participating country without having to show their passport (A document issued by a country to a citizen allowing that person to travel abroad and re-enter the home country) s, or in any other way being checked.
All Schengen Treaty signatories except Norway, Iceland and Switzerland are European Union (An international organization of European countries formed after World War II to reduce trade barriers and increase cooperation among its members) members.
The existing signatories who are not EU members have less opportunity to particiate in shaping the evolution of the Schengen Treaty as a result of the Treaty of Amsterdam.

 Ireland, Schengen and the Common Travel Area
Schengen does not confer any right on non-nationals who happen to be long-term resident immigrants to travel freely within the EU.
In an island country which lacks an internal system requiring individuals to be registered and their addresses monitored, it cannot be surprising that the regulation of the movement of persons across the sea, air and land frontiers has come to be seen as a core issue of national policy and sovereignty.
A move to adopt the Schengen acquis in the UK and Ireland would have radical civil liberties implications because of the very different legal systems found in common-law and continental codes.  The protection afforded by habeas corpus is not the only factor, although not the least important either, which comes to mind.

 Statewatch News Online: Some remarks on Schengen III
It is not part of the Schengen treaty nor is it intended to be a part of the Schengen acquis.
The treaty should be seen against the background of EU plans to introduce the so-called "principle of availability" allowing for the exchange of information between law enforcement agencies in the member states of the EU - plans which started after the Madrid bomb attacks in 11 March 2004.
The treaty allows, where a specific person is identified, access to the finger-print databases of the participating states and the automatic comparison of fingerprints, not only for reasons of criminal prosecution but also for "prevention".

Schengen is a treaty providing for the free movement of persons travelling between the Schengen member states.
While, in principle, passengers can travel between Schengen countries without showing their passport, control measures will be tightened for passengers arriving from non-Schengen countries.
However, it is worth remembering that passengers must still bring their passports: the Schengen Treaty does not exempt passengers entirely from showing ID when they travel.

The Treaty of Amsterdam, signed in 1997, includes these issues in the EC Treaty (Articles 61 to 69) and provides for a transition period of five years before the Community procedures apply in their entirety.
The Treaty states that by 2004 the Council must define, amongst other things, the criteria determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application, the minimum standards governing the reception of asylum seekers, the conditions to be met in order to claim refugee status and the minimum conditions for awarding or withdrawing refugee status.
In a 1999 Communication concerning family reunification [COM(1999) 638], the Commission indicated that it intended to tackle all aspects of the entry and residence of third-country nationals, and particularly entry and residence for the purposes of study, of employment and self-employed activity and of unpaid activities.

Reduced reporting on activities in the Schengen sphere Paradoxically, under the previous Schengen arrangements, the Parliament was kept better informed of the work within the Schengen bodies as the Schengen Presidency presented a report to the European Parliament after their six months in office.
The process of verifying compliance with the Schengen acquis for the existing EU members has taken substantial periods (in the case of Greece, the accession agreement was signed in 1992 and the full abolition of border controls took place in March 2000).
It therefore seems unreasonable to make compliance with the Schengen acquis a condition for membership and it would be preferable to allow the candidate countries to join at the earliest opportunity and to make the full implementation of the Schengen acquis subject to verification and a subsequent decision on the lifting of internal borders.

Officially, the IGC was to revise the European Treaties "with the aim of ensuring the effectiveness of the mechanisms and the institutions of the Community." However, the governments realized the implications of reopening some of the matters and chose instead to focus officially on five points.
The Schengen Protocol, which bifurcates the Schengen Acquis into its treaties and decisions, is annexed to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty establishing the European Community as the incorporating instrument.
The Schengen Acquis is made up of the original agreement, the supplementary agreements signed by the other Member States except Ireland and the United Kingdom, and the appurtenant bureaucratic directives and national and European court cases.

One of the worst problems with the Treaty is its protocol severely curtailing the rights of EU nationals to seek asylum in other member states.
Apparently, the initial idea behind Schengen was to speed up the total abolition of border controls between EU countries.
In fact, when the Swedish government signed the Schengen Agreement, five of the main political parties in their parliament issued a statement describing the Agreement as "walls and wire".
