Third-country nationals whose data are to be recorded in the EES should be informed about their rights and obligations regarding the processing of their data in the form of a template as provided for in Article 50(5) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226. The information to be provided to those third-country nationals should refer to the progressive start of operations of the EES. Those third-country nationals should be informed in the template of their obligation to provide biometric data at border crossing points where that obligation constitutes an entry condition, of the consequences of not providing biometric data, that it will not be possible for them to verify the remaining duration of the authorised stay by automated means, and of the possibility to use the short stay calculator tool available on the Commission website.
