The official November 10th launch date for the EU's new biometric checks for non-EU travellers was announced after several delays, but another postponement is expected.
Commissioner Johansson indicated a phased approach might be considered for the EES, with selective rollout at some border points rather than a simultaneous launch across Schengen.
Minister Sandor Pinter suggested implementing the EES as a trial to identify potential IT issues, allowing for earlier resolution before a full-scale operation.
eu-LISA raised concerns about the resilience of the EES system, stressing the importance of successful live tests before it can be fully operational.
