The Schengen Agreement is a treaty signed in 1985 upon the basis of which border checks between countries within the EU were gradually eliminated.
At the time of the Czech Republic’s accession to the EU, the Schengen Agreement was already a part of European Union Law and therefore it was not necessary to sign the Schengen Treaty separately.
The original Schengen Agreement was signed in 1985 by Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. It took another 10 years, until border checks between these states were actually removed. In 1999, the Schengen Agreement became a part of European Union Law through the Treaty of Amsterdam. The Schengen Agreement also gave its name to the so-called Schengen Area, which includes today 26 European states that removed all controls on their mutual borders. One of the most important conditions for joining the Schengen Area is to accept responsibility for maintaining and protecting the external EU border.
Schengenská smlouva je smlouva podepsaná v roce 1985, na základě které byly postupně zrušeny hraniční kontroly uvnitř Evropské unie.
V době, kdy se Česká republika připojovala k Evropské Unii, byla Schengenská smlouva již součástí práva Evropské unie a tím pádem nebylo nutné, aby Schengenskou smlouvu podepisovala zvlášť.
Původní Schengenská smlouva byla podepsána v roce 1985 Německem, Francií, Belgií, Nizozemskem a Lucemburskem, trvalo však dalších 10 let, než byly kontroly na hranicích těchto států opravdu zrušeny. V roce 1999 se Schengenská smlouva stala skrze Amsterodamskou smlouvu součástí práva Evropské Unie. Podle Schengenské smlouvy je pojmenován také tzv. Schengenský prostor, který dnes zahrnuje 26 evropských států, které zrušily všechny kontroly na vzájemných hranicích. Jedna z nejdůležitějších podmínek pro připojení k schengenskému prostoru je přijetí odpovědnosti za udržování a ochranu vnější hranici EU.
