\n Within six months of its gradual rollout, every border crossing in the Schengen Area is expected to use the new EES.
\n ADVERTISEMENTAfter numerous delays and setbacks, the EU\u2019s long-awaited Entry\/Exit System (EES) may soon be rolling out at a border near you.On 4 December, the European Commission (EC) proposed a progressive start of operations for the EES, Europe\u2019s new digital border system for non-EU nationals.Once the proposal has been approved and the EC has set a start date, member states will have six months to deploy it.Yesterday, the EU\u2019s official EES website confirmed the system will begin in 2025, though no exact date was given. Meaning that nearly nine years after the EES was proposed, it might finally happen.Here\u2019s what you need to know about how Americans, Brits and other non-EU countries will cross borders into the blocWhat is the EES?The Entry\/Exit System will be an automated registration system for UK and other non-EU travellers who don\u2019t require avisa to enter the EU.Travellers will need to scan theirpassports or other travel document at a self-service kiosk each time they cross an EU external border. It will not apply to legal EU citizens or residents or those with long-stay visas.The system will register the traveller\u2019s name, biometric data, and the date and place of entry and exit.Facial scans and fingerprint data will be taken every three years and are valid for multiple trips within that period.\u00a0Why is the EES being implemented and in which countries?The EES will apply to non-EU citizens – including UK nationals – who come to the bloc for visits, holidays or business and stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.EU officials say the system is being introduced to bolster border security and identify travellers who overstay their permitted time in the Schengen Area (90 days within a 180 day period).\u201cWith the EES, we will know exactly who enters the Schengen Area with a foreign passport,\u201d Ylva Johannson, the EU\u2019s former home affairs commissioner, said in an August speech at eu-LISA, the agency overseeing Europe\u2019s large-scale IT systems.It will apply when entering all EU member states, apart fromCyprus and Ireland, as well as four non-EU countries in the Schengen Area:Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.The EES has faced delay after delayAt eu-LISA in August, Johansson declared that the EES would be ready to launch before her five-year tenure would end in November.\u201cThe moment is finally here,\u201d she said. \u201cThere may have been times you believed it [would] never happen. But it is going to happen. Everything is coming together.\u201dBut two months later, Johansson announced that the system\u2019s 10 November launch date would be delayed again. It marked the fourth time the rollout had been pushed back.ADVERTISEMENTJohansson noted that France, Germany and the Netherlands \u2013 countries that collectively receive more than 100 million tourists per year \u2013 told the EC they were not ready to implement the system, voicing concerns about a lack of practical testing.\u00a0Previous delays have been blamed on IT issues and the installation of new automated barriers required at all international land, maritime and air borders in the Schengen Area. Some airports reported having to reinforce their floors to accommodate the heavy new scanners.What entering the Schengen Area will look like in the years aheadWhile an official launch date has yet to be announced, there was never any question of whether the EES would eventually happen.The gradual approach appears to give the participating nations more flexibility to fine-tune their technology and navigate unexpected issues.ADVERTISEMENTThe goal, according to the EC, is to have the new system working at 10 per cent of border crossings in every member state on day one. During this soft launch period, travellers\u2019 passports will continue to be stamped, as well as electronically recorded.After six months, the EC expects the EES to be fully operational.Another six months after the EES is up and running, travellers will also need to apply for the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), a visa-waiver programme for travellers between the ages of 16 and 70.\u00a0The ETIAS will cost \u20ac7 and be valid for three years.ADVERTISEMENTWhile an app designed to streamline entry and exit from Europe is also in development, its ability to capture required biometric data such as fingerprints remains unclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
