Schengen area definition
Schengen area means the area without internal borders comprising the territories of the Member States as defined in point (a) applying the Schengen acquis in full.
Schengen area means the territory of the Contracting Parties which apply the Schengen acquis in full.
Schengen area came into being in 1995 among most members of the EU. The lifting of national border controls required an alternative response to protection against the passage of unwanted elements.1 In addition to building a joint information system (the Schengen Information System, SIS) on the movement of suspected/wanted persons and stolen property, Europol was established in the 1990s as an added measure dedicated to the fight against cross-border crime among EU member states and beyond. The agency also indirectly provides a certain response to the absence of one central coordinating police investigative agency in many of the member states. Thus, Europol offers internal and interstate coordination in combatting cross-border crime. Up until 2017, Europol had two frameworks for cooperation with non-EU states. A third was added that year. Each is characterized by a different range and focus of cooperation (see table no. 1 below).
