The European Council announced a general approach has been reached on a regulation that would allow member states to gradually introduce the Entry/Exit System (EES) system over a period of six months.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The announcement from the council states that an established position for the progressive launch of a new digital border management system had been reached. Poland is the country currently holding the EU Council’s rotating presidency, and negotiations with the European Parliament for a final agreement on the amended law are still in process. Once adopted, the EES Regulation will enter into force, allowing member states and eu-LISA to prepare for the progressive start of operations.
The EES has been delayed several times. Officials stated the European Union will announce the start date of the EES several months prior to its launch. BAL will continue to monitor developments and will provide more information as it becomes available.
This alert has been provided by the BAL Global Practice Group.
