Content and generation of the list

Article 1

The EES shall generate automatically a list of all third-country nationals referred to in Article 12(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 who do not fulfil or no longer fulfil the conditions relating to the duration of their authorised short stay on the territory of the Member States. The list shall be constantly and automatically updated so as to accurately reflect any amendment or erasure of EES data referred to in Article 16(1)(a), (b) and (c), Article 16(2)(a), (b), (d) and (f), second subparagraph of Article 16(2), and Article 17(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226. For each third-country national identified as overstayer by the EES, the list shall contain the following data: (a) surname (family name); first name or names (given names); date of birth; nationality or nationalities; sex; (b) the type and number of the travel document or documents and the three letter code of the issuing country of the travel document or documents; (c) the date of expiry of the validity of the travel document or documents; (d) the individual reference number created by the EES upon creation of the individual file of the third country national; (e) for the last entry of the third-country national: — the date and time of the entry; — the border crossing point of the entry and the authority that authorised the entry; (f) three letter code of the Member State issuing visa; (g) the date when the third-country national was entered on the list. Where a third-country national included in the list exits the territory of the Member States, his or her data shall be automatically and immediately erased from the list. Where a Member State rectifies or completes the EES data of a third-country national included in the list, restricts the processing of such data, or erases such data, the corresponding data on the list shall be amended accordingly or, where applicable, erased from the list by the EES with no delay and through an automated process. The mechanisms to produce automatically the list shall comply with the privacy by design principle that will be further developed in the technical specifications referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226. This list shall be generated in the EES Central System.
