The EU's Entry/Exit System aims to enhance security by digitally recording entries and exits of non-EU nationals, signalling a significant shift in border management.
The Commission's decision to implement a phased rollout reflects ongoing challenges in coordinating member states' readiness, ensuring some countries can start fully from day one.
Concerns about the EES include potential long queues at critical borders like the UK-France crossing, which already struggles with delays, especially during peak travel times.
Legislation has been revised to allow flexibility in EES deployment, enabling member states more time to implement biometric data checks while maintaining essential border control functions.
