EU remains committed to plans for new border control system

The European Union is advancing preparations for a new border control system aimed at optimizing the processing of hundreds of millions of visitors to the EU each year. Despite its ambitious goals, there are doubts about whether the planned introduction next month is actually feasible. The Entry/Exit System (EES), as the system is officially called, promises automated registration of travelers. This measure is intended to increase security and reduce waiting times at passport control checkpoints in the long term. Expectations are high that the EES could significantly enhance efficiency. Optimism remains undampened that the implementation of this system, despite possible delays, will soon bear fruit. It is hoped that the EES will have a positive impact on the overall travel experience within the EU and contribute to strengthening internal security in the long term.
