The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, PT) by 512 votes in favour, 20 against and 31 abstentions, and made few amendments to the common position:

- a new recital states that, as regards Switzerland, the Regulation constitutes a development of the Schengen acquis;

This report will include information and statistics relating to the use and results of the implementation of this Article and state how the data protection rules were applied.
