Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15th March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) lays down Community rules for carrying out the border control of persons, covering both border checks and surveillance.
‘Border checks’ (Definition no. 12) are the checks carried out at border crossing points, to ensure that persons, their means of transport and the objects in their possession may be authorised to enter or leave the territory of Schengen States.

European Commission [6].
[…] The Commission considers that this requirement is not fulfilled, because the ‘National Action Plan for the Implementation of Turkey’s Integrated Border Management strategy’ has only been implemented in a very limited fashion, and one of its key components has not been implemented at all. This component proposed setting up a single, non-military, specialised border organisation and transferring all the responsibilities and resources for border management to it. These are currently distributed among several different agencies (i.e. the customs, the police, the coastguard, and the land forces) […].

Regulation (EC) No. 562/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15th March 2006 establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) lays down Community rules for carrying out the border control of persons, covering both border checks and surveillance.
‘Minimum check’ (Definition no. 14) is the check to be carried out, as a rule, on persons enjoying the Community right of free movement, in order to verify their identity and nationality for EU/EEA/CH citizens or their identity and family ties with an EU/EEA/CH citizen for their family members who are not EU/EEA/CH citizens themselves. It consists of a rapid and straightforward verification of the travel document, with the aim of checking the validity of it and of detecting the presence of signs of falsification or counterfeiting. This check may involve the consultation, in the relevant databases, of information concerning stolen, misappropriated, lost and invalidated documents.

Gabler Wirtschaftslexikon (2016): Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are forms of collaboration between entities of public bodies, private companies and/or non-profit organisations, which are more processor-oriented over a longer period of time and due to incomplete performance specifications. The two basic types—organisation and contract PPPs are distinguished. In the case of the former, the cooperation is institutionalised within the framework of a common organisation; in the case of the second, a contract forms the basis for cooperation. PPPs are now found in a wide range of tasks. Available from: https://​wirtschaftslexik​on.​gabler.​de/​Definition/​public-private-partnership.​html#definition (Accessed on 30th December 2016).
