Officials from the European Commission will join the UK trade body on 16 September for an update as well as a Q&A session. 

The systems – which applies to all EU member states – will introduce update procedures for customs declarations, enhanced security measures and streamlined processes for both commercial and personal travel. 

It is hoped the changes will improve border efficiency and facilitate smoother cross-border movements. 

The EES is an automated system that will record information on non-EU nationals entering and exiting the Schengen Area. This includes short-stay visa holders and visa-exempt travellers.
