EU fingerprint and facial recognition checks expected to be delayed again
Briefly

The EU entry-exit system (EES), introducing fingerprinting and facial recognition, faces further delays as multiple member states express readiness concerns, risking congestion at ports.
France, Germany, and the Netherlands have informed the EU that they will not be ready for the new entry-exit checks, casting doubt on the November launch.
Transport operators highlighted that the implementation of the EES would likely cause significant queues unless checks can be conducted prior to arrival at ports.
Previously delayed due to fears over impacts on major events, the EES now faces uncertainty as member states voice concerns over its efficacy and readiness.
