#52026XC01846Update of the List of Authorised Border Crossing Points under the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation EU 2016/399)

This measure updates the official list of border crossing points designated under Article 2(8) of the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation EU 2016/399). The Schengen Borders Code governs the movement of persons across internal and external EU borders, and Article 2(8) defines 'border crossing points' as any crossing point authorised by competent authorities for the crossing of external borders. Member States are required to notify the European Commission of any changes to their designated border crossing points — including additions, removals, or reclassifications. This update consolidates the latest such notifications, ensuring the published list accurately reflects current operational crossing points across Schengen-area member states. The update has direct implications for travelers, transport operators, and border control authorities, as only officially listed crossing points may be used for crossing external Schengen borders. Crossings at non-listed points constitute an irregular border crossing and are subject to enforcement measures under national and EU law. No new substantive rules are introduced by this update; it is a routine administrative consolidation to maintain accuracy and transparency of the authorised points of entry and exit within the Schengen framework.
