What is the EU's border policy?

The EU's border policy aims to manage the movement of people into and out of the Schengen Area, a zone of 27 European countries that have abolished internal border controls. The Entry-Exit System is part of this evolving policy, designed to strengthen external borders and streamline checks for non-EU citizens.
