This Regulation does not affect the obligations of air carriers, sea carriers and international carriers transporting groups overland by coach as set out in Article 26(1) of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the Governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement) and Council Directive 2001/51/EC. In that respect, carriers should verify the stamps affixed in travel documents. To ensure effective communication with carriers about the differentiated application of the EES at the border crossing points, ultimately benefiting travellers, it is crucial for Member States to be transparent about the deployment of the EES at their border crossing points.
