The Entry/Exit System (EES) was initially scheduled for implementation in November but faced delays due to unprepared member states. This automated system, established in 2017, will document the date of visitors' entry and exit, monitor overstays, and collect biometric data at border points. The European Parliament highlighted goals to enhance security and expedite border checks. Concerns were raised about potential chaos at travel hubs, particularly in London, due to rushed implementation. The roll-out will be executed over six months, with gradual increases in operational border crossings.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) will record visitors’ entry and exit dates, keeping track of overstays and refused entries with biometric data collection at ports of entry.
The aim is to improve security, speed up the border check process, and reduce queues, although concerns about implementation causing delays have been raised.
