What is the Entry/Exit System?

The EES, a new European Entry/Exit System, will contain personal data of third-country nationals who enter the Schengen territory for a short stay (a maximum of 90 days within a period of 180 days). This new European system is expected to start to enter into operation by the end of 2024 / beginning of 2025. From that time, information about your entry into and exit from the territory of Member States, as well as, if applicable, information about a refusal of entry into that territory, will be recorded in the EES.

Your data will be collected and processed by the Royal Dutch Military Police and in the seaport of Rotterdam by the Dutch police. Your personal data will be processed for border management, to prevent irregular migration and to simplify the management of migration flows. This requirement is set out in the corresponding Regulation (EU) 2017/2226.

This privacy statement explains how the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee and Netherlands police will process your personal data for the European Entry/Exit System. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will apply to these data processing operations.
