As an update and follow-up to the report “Analysis of the impact of borderrelated measures taken by Member States in the fight against COVID-19” (January 2021), this study assesses two years of border management linked to the pandemic and their impact on border regions, and draws some recommendations for their man-agement in the future, also taking into account the current revision of the Schengen Borders Code. The findings of this study are based on an online survey addressed to Member States and local cross-border cooperation structures. This survey was supplemented by bilateral interviews, and by literature review.
