Until then, the only record are the stamps and possibly national databases that some member states run (but don't share with others). So a member state can see when you entered but can't see when did you exit, if you exited via another member state.
Wow, many thanks for the clarification, little wonder there are so many issues with migration….. but why do they often spend so much time scanning a passport & staring into their screen ?
