The European Union has delayed the complete implementation of its new digital border system, the Entry/Exit System (EES), from April to September. The decision was made to avoid potential travel disruptions during the busy summer period, according to a European Commission spokesperson.
The EES is designed to enhance border security by electronically recording entry and exit data of non-EU nationals. The postponement allows more time for testing and adjustments before the system is fully operational.
**Why this matters**
The Entry/Exit System aims to streamline border controls and improve security across the EU. Delaying its rollout helps prevent possible travel delays and confusion during peak travel months, ensuring a smoother transition for both travelers and border authorities.
