Abstract
On December 21, 2007, Poland joined the Schengen Zone. The decision to abolish controls at the internal borders of the EU and the accession of nine new member states to the Schengen Zone was one of the most significant steps toward the full realization of European integration. The expansion of the Schengen Zone contributed significantly to the construction of a united Europe based on mutual trust, collectively striving to maintain a high level of security. The Schengen Agreement’s provisions eliminated controls for individuals crossing borders between member states of the agreement while strengthening police, judicial, security, and asylum policy cooperation. The main focus of this article is on the provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of March 9, 2016, concerning the Union Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders, also known as the Schengen Border Code. The primary objective is to highlight this Code as a tool for preventing the illegal crossing of Schengen Zone borders, which is closely related to combating crimes against document credibility. The publication also addresses issues related to the functioning of the Schengen Information System.
