It should first be borne in mind that, in accordance with Council Decision 1999/436/EC of 20 May 1999 determining, in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union, the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the Schengen acquis, the legal basis for the Article 22 in question is Article 62(3) of the EC Treaty (see Annex A and Article 2 of the above Decision).
Taču vispirms jāatgādina, ka saskaņā ar Padomes 1999. gada 20. maija Lēmumu 1999/436/EK, ar ko atbilstīgi Eiropas Kopienas dibināšanas līguma un Līguma par Eiropas Savienību attiecīgajiem noteikumiem nosaka tiesisko bāzi [pamatu] visām normām un lēmumiem, kas veido Šengenas acquis , juridiskais pamats, kurš atbilst minētajam 22. pantam, ir EK līguma 62. panta 3. punkts (sk. minētā lēmuma A pielikumu un 2. pantu).
