Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions
The Schengen Agreement is a treaty between European nations which eventually led to the creation of a
common travel area in which there are few internal border checks. The agreement gets its name from the town
of Schengen in Luxembourg, where it was signed by representatives of five of the ten member states of the then
European Economic Community (EEC). The agreement proposed measures intended to gradually abolish border
checks at the signatories’ common borders, including hugely reducing vehicle checks, freedom for citizens to
cross borders, and the harmonization of visa policies.
In 1990, the original agreement was supplemented by the Schengen Convention which proposed the
complete abolition of systematic internal border controls and a common visa policy. This led to the creation of
the Schengen Area in 1995. It operates very much like a single state for international travel purposes, with
external border controls imposed on travellers entering and exiting the area, but with no internal border controls.
Originally, the Schengen treaties and the rules adopted under them were officially independent from the
EEC and its successor, the European Union (EU). In 1999, they were incorporated into European Union law by
the Treaty of Amsterdam, which codified Schengen into EU law while providing opt-outs for Ireland and the
U.K., with the latter since leaving the EU. EU member states that don’t have an opt-out which have not already
joined the Schengen Area are legally obliged to do so when they meet technical requirements. Although it is
linked to EU law, several non-EU countries are included in the area, having signed up to the agreement.
