The roll-out of the European Union’s new biometric border system has been delayed by a month, with plans now understood to be in place to launch it in mid-November.
The roll-out will be postponed until mid-November
The Independent on Wednesday (17 July) reported the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) will launch on 10 November, with the possibility of it being postponed until 17 November if member states are not ready by that deadline.
The system was initially set to be launched in early October, but the aviation sector and wider travel industry has questioned the readiness of European airports, warning of potential delays and disruption later this year.
