The case
Switzerland adopts EU rules to curb illegal air entry into Schengen.
The commentary
Switzerland has taken a significant step in aligning with EU measures to bolster border security and prevent illegal entry into the Schengen area by air.
The regulation aims to standardize the collection and transfer of passenger data across the Schengen area, enhancing accuracy and ensuring effective screening. While implementing this measure, Switzerland will ensure compliance with data protection standards.
To align with these requirements, Swiss law will need amendments, and the proposed legislative changes must undergo a consultation process by November 2026 at the latest.
