"The processing time at registration could take a bit longer for citizens from outside of Schengen, as they need to register their biometric data. The police are in general, happy with the way it has been rolled out."
"The aim of the new system is to replace the manual stamp on passports and secure better information-sharing between the bloc's 27 states. When a third-country national crosses an external Schengen border, the border authorities create or update an individual file in the EES."
Copenhagen Airport has completed the full implementation of the EU's Entry and Exit System (EES), which requires non-EU travellers to provide fingerprints and a facial photo. This system aims to replace manual passport stamps and enhance information-sharing among EU states. The EES has been in development for over 12 years and is now operational at all Danish airports. Children under twelve are exempt from fingerprinting but must still be registered. The system creates a digital file for each traveller upon their first entry or exit.
