Mr President, I must emphasise, first of all, that under Community law, any citizen of the Union may enter or leave the territory of a Member State on presenting a valid identity card or passport. If the passport is the only valid document for leaving the territory, which is the case in various Member States that do not issue identity cards, it must be valid for a period of not less than five years. Member States themselves are responsible for setting the conditions for issuing and validating the identity papers of their nationals. Incorporating the Schengen acquis into the European Union has not had any affect on these provisions. According to the Commission’s information, Sweden intends to introduce a national identity card with the status of travel document in accordance with Community directives.
Secondly, it should be pointed out that Article 45 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement stipulates that persons wishing to stay overnight in a hotel must prove their identity by presenting a valid identity document. It should be noted that the Schengen acquis does not stipulate the type of identity document required. Consequently and in summary, the concept of a valid identity document can be interpreted to mean that all identity documents that have been accepted to date by the Nordic States as proof of identity can, in future, be presented when booking into a hotel."@en1
