## Resource

The EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) is set to launch across Schengen borders, scanning fingerprints and photos on first entry to boost security and track travelers — especially after past terror attacks. But airlines and airports are warning of chaos, citing long queues and missed flights, especially as summer travel kicks off. They’ve urged a delay until next summer, but the EU refuses to pause — insisting consistency across all borders is vital to avoid travelers getting stuck or overstaying. The EU also plans to push back the rollout of its own ESTA-like travel authorization system, while pressuring “difficult spots” to fix bottlenecks with more staff or better infrastructure. Despite tech hiccups and delays, the EU remains committed, with no member state officially requesting a suspension beyond September.
